... Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect from 5 am to 10 am
EST Monday...
... High threat of rip currents through Monday north of Cape
Lookout...

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.

A lingering east swell of 5 to 7 feet will produce rough surf and
a high threat of rip currents along the beaches north of Cape
Lookout through Monday.

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.

Rip currents are strong... narrow channels of water that flow out
to sea. If you become caught in a rip current... remain calm. Try
to swim on a course that is parallel to the beach until you get
away from the rip... then swim at an angle in to shore. Do not try
to swim back to shore directly against the rip... since it can
exhaust and even kill the strongest swimmer.
