... Flood Watch remains in effect through late Thursday night...

The Flood Watch continues for

* a portion of southeast North Carolina... including the following
areas... Bladen... Brunswick... Columbus... New Hanover... Pender and
Robeson.

* Through late Thursday night

* the remnants of Hurricane Ida will bring heavy rainfall to the
area today and Thursday. The heaviest rain is expected to occur
this afternoon tonight. 4 to 6 inches of rain is expected
through Thursday... with locally higher amounts possible.

Rainfall rates will generally be moderate to occasionally
heavy... but the prolonged nature of the rain will lead to
potential flooding problems. The widespread nature of the rain may
lead to river flooding later in the week. Some major rivers may
experience minor flooding by Friday into the weekend.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be
alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to
flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.

... Wind Advisory in effect until 5 am EST Thursday...

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect until 5 am EST Thursday.

Low pressure is developing off the South Carolina coast this
morning and is expected to strengthen as it moves slowly north
tonight and Thursday. Strong high pressure will remain centered
across New England. The pressure gradient between these two features
will increase the northeast to north winds across the advisory
area. Sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph will gust up to 35 mph through
tonight. Given the ground is fully saturated... winds of this
magnitude may bring down a few trees which are still fully leaved.
Isolated power outages are possible.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 35 mph are expected. Winds
this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution especially on bridges and
overpasses.
