...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...
...RIP CURRENT RISK IS CANCELLED...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY HAS
CANCELLED THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY. 

WATER LEVELS SHOULD CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE FOR THE LOWER
NEUSE RIVER AND DOWN EAST CARTERET COUNTY AS WINDS HAVE TRENDED MORE
NORTHWEST. HOWEVER...DUE TO RUN OFF FROM THE RECENT RAINFALL WATER
LEVELS MAY CONTINUE TO RUN 1 TO 2 FT ABOVE NORMAL. 

THE RIP CURRENT RISK HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED TO MODERATE NORTH OF CAPE
LOOKOUT AND TO LOW SOUTH OF CAPE LOOKOUT DUE TO OFFSHORE WINDS AND
SMALLER SOUTHEAST SWELL COMPARED TO THE LAST FEW DAYS.
