A coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect from 5 am to 10 am EST
Monday.
The combination of high astronomical tides and lingering easterly
swell will produce minor coastal flooding across portions of
Onslow and Carteret counties during Monday mornings high tide.
High tide in the ocean will occur around 6 am and in the back
bays and tidal creeks around 9 am. Areas to be affected include
affecting low- lying areas at the beaches... near marshes and
tidal creeks... and also along tidal portions of rivers.
Water will rise into areas that only rarely experience flooding
without a storm. Vehicles parked in these flood-prone areas
should be moved to higher ground. If traveling Monday morning...
pay close attention for water covering the Road. Never drive
through water of uncertain depth.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate minor flooding of low areas along the
shore.
