* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1 to 3 feet of
inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines
and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous
rip currents, large breaking waves expected, and strong
longshore currents in the surf zone. For the High Surf Advisory,
large breaking waves of 7 to 11 feet expected in the surf zone.
For the Coastal Flood Warning, up to 2 to 4 feet of inundation
above ground level expected in low- lying areas near shorelines
and tidal waterways.
* WHERE...Ocracoke Island.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 5 PM EDT
Saturday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Saturday
evening. For the High Surf Advisory, from 11 AM Saturday to 8
PM EDT Sunday. For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 5 PM
Saturday to 8 AM EDT Monday.
* IMPACTS...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1 to 3 feet of
inundation above ground level with minor ocean overwash possible
in vulnerable locations along shorelines and tidal waterways.
For the Coastal Flood Warning, up to 2 to 4 feet of inundation
above ground level is possible in some areas near shorelines and
tidal waterways resulting in an elevated threat of property
damage around the times of high tide. Flooding will extend
inland from the waterfront threatening some homes and
businesses. Road closures and flooding of vehicles will be
possible, most notably along NC 12 where ocean overwash may make
several portions of the highway inaccessible across Ocracoke
Island. For the Beach Hazards Statement and High Surf Advisory,
life-threatening swimming and surfing conditions.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain
calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. If tired,
float or tread water until out of the rip current. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. It is
extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you
are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at
all times.
Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many
cases, the longshore current is strong enough to prevent swimmers
from being able to keep their feet on the bottom making it
difficult to return to shore.
