Warnings and Notices

	Freeze Warning
Statement as of 10:00 PM EST on December 19, 2009 ... Freeze warning in effect until 8 am EST Sunday... The National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City has issued a freeze warning... which is in effect until 8 am EST Sunday. Temperatures have dropped to freezing for the Outer Banks... and expect temperatures to hover right around 32 degrees through early Sunday morning. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A freeze warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.

	Coastal Flood Advisory
Statement as of 8:16 PM EST on December 19, 2009 ... Coastal Flood Advisory in effect until 6 am EST Sunday... ... Coastal Flood Warning is cancelled... The National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City has issued a coastal Flood Advisory... which is in effect until 6 am EST Sunday. The coastal Flood Warning has been cancelled. Low pressure over the Atlantic will continue to move northeast and away from the region overnight. Northwest winds will continue to be gusty with speeds of 20 to 30 mph expected overnight. These winds will keep water levels elevated over the eastern portion of the Pamlico Sound. Minor flooding can be expected adjacent to the sounds over Hatteras and Ocracoke islands. Water levels currently are running 2 to 3 feet above normal and will very slowly subside overnight as the winds slowly diminish. Residents in areas prone to sound side flooding should take action to protect any property that may be threatened. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
