MONDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 6 to
  9 feet expected in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood
  Advisory, up to 2 feet of inundation above ground level 
  expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
  For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents and 
  large breaking waves expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE...Ocracoke Island and Hatteras Island.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, from 5 AM Monday to 2 AM EDT
  Tuesday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 5 AM to 10 PM EDT
  Monday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from Monday morning

  flooding is expected Monday afternoon and evening as the winds
  shift to the northwest.

* IMPACTS...Up to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is
  possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways
  resulting in a low threat of property damage. Some roads and low
  lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns, and homes
  adjacent to the waterfront will experience shallow flooding.
  Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach
  erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from
  shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore break can throw a
  swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom causing neck and
  back injuries. Localized ocean overwash will be possible. 

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The most likely time for strong rip
  currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide,

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current remain calm.
Don't fight the current. Swim in a direction following the
shoreline. When out of the current, swim back to shore. 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.

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM EDT TUESDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 2 
  to 8 feet expected in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood 
  Advisory, 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level 
  expected in low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal 
  waterways. For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip 
  currents and large breaking waves expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE...East Carteret.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 2 AM EDT Tuesday. For 
  the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 7 PM EDT this evening. For 
  the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT this morning 
  through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only 
  isolated road closures expected. Dangerous swimming and 
  surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents 
  can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper 
  water. Dangerous shore break can throw a swimmer or surfer 
  head first into the bottom causing neck and back injuries.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The most likely time for strong rip 
  currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide, 
  which will occur around 11 AM Today.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current remain calm.
Don't fight the current. Swim in a direction following the
shoreline. When out of the current, swim back to shore. 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.

&&

Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Newport/Morehead City, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this beach hazards statement went out at May 17, 7:16 PM EDT, 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 17, 7:16 PM EDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
716 PM EDT Sun May 17 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Arthur will continue to approach from the south,
impacting eastern North Carolina tonight and Monday. Another
area of low pressure will develop over the Southeast and Mid
Atlantic late Monday, and remain nearby through much of next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 700 PM Sun...The latest analysis is showing the center of
TS Arthur well offshore of the SC coast as it's associated rain
is spreading into ENC from south to north. The storm will speed
up a bit tonight as it lifts NE approaching the NC coast due to
the mid to upper level trough approaching the Eastern CONUS.
Shower coverage will increase overnight, becoming moderate to
heavy at times late tonight and especially early Monday morning.
Generally expect a low svr/tor threat overnight, but risk may
be increasing a bit early morning for areas near the coast,
depending on where the center of Arthur tracks. E/NE winds will
gradually ramp up along the southern coastal areas late tonight
as TS Arthur approaches, peaking Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 240 PM Sun...TS Arthur will make its closest pass to the
NC coast Monday morning and early afternoon. The exact track
remains uncertain, but the center of the storm moving over or
just offshore of the Outer Banks is still the most likely
solution. TS Warnings remain in effect for portions of the NC
coast.

Strong winds are possible near the core of the storm, especially
on the north and east sides of the center of circulation, where
the gradient is tightest. This is also the zone where tornadoes
will be possible. If the center of circulation remains just
offshore, the wind and tornado threat will be mitigated, but if
a landfalling track similar to what the GFS and NAM show comes
to fruition, the threat will increase.

The flooding threat from this system remains low, though
localized issues for very low-lying or poor drainage areas are
possible. QPF values of 1-3 inches are now expected across
coastal North Carolina, with guidance indicating that training
could result in localized amounts up to 4 or even 5 inches, but
dry antecedent conditions indicate that this amount over a
small area would likely not result in significant flash flooding.
So will continue to hold off on FF Watch.

Storm surge remains a bit uncertain and dependent on the track
and speed of the storm, but generally 1 to 2 feet of inundation
is possible, which could bring minor flooding issues across
area rivers and sounds. On the ocean side, 8-15 ft seas with a
medium period swell could bring moderate wave run-up, especially
for beaches north of Cape Lookout, and overwash of very weak
dune structures is possible. See Tides and CF section below for
additional surge information.

Please see HLSMHX for more details about the expected impacts
from Tropical Storm Arthur.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 400 AM Sun...Tropical Storm Arthur will depart offshore
Monday night, however another area of low pressure will develop
to the SW and linger in the area though much of the week with
unsettled weather. The low will lift to the N by Saturday with
drier weather expected.

Monday Night through Friday...An H5 cutoff low will strengthen
as it drops over the Southeast Monday night and Tuesday. This
feature will translate to the surface as broad troughing
stretching from the Deep South to the Mid- Atlantic. Deep
moisture transport will ensue Monday night, bringing numerous
shra and a few tsra back into the forecast. An Omega Block-like
pattern will then set up, keeping the low nearby through the
end of the week. Confidence in forecast details for this period
remains low, especially with respect to timing, but a series of
waves is generally expected to pivot around the upper level low,
bringing periods of enhanced rainfall potential through late
week. Temps generally within about 5 degrees on either side of
normal through the period, dependent on the cloud cover and
rainfall trends.

Saturday...The persistent low will finally lift to the N
pushing a weak cold front thru with mainly dry Wx expected and
temps near normal.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Short Term /through Monday/...
As of 700 PM Sun...Currently, a mix of VFR and MVFR conditions,
but conditions will gradually deteriorate this evening and
overnight as TS Arthur approaches the area. High confidence that
conditions will become IFR overnight as showers become
widespread. Expect E to NE winds tonight, then becoming NW
Monday afternoon with gusty winds up to 20 knots, especially at
EWN. Widespread showers expected early Mon morning into the
afternoon, with cigs slowly improving.

Long Term /Monday night through Friday/...
As of 4 AM Sun...Tropical Storm Arthur currently off the coast
of Florida will impact the area as it lifts NE near or just off
the coast Monday. Periods of sub VFR expected with gusty winds
espcly coast. Flight restrictions will cont Tue thru Thu with
period of shra and a few tsra as low pres lingers in the area.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Monday/...
As of 700 PM Sun...Latest obs show NE/E winds 10-20 kt with
seas 3-5 ft north of Oregon Inlet and 4-8 ft south. Conditions
will continue to gradually deteriorate this evening and
overnight as TS Arthur lifts towards the NC coast. TS Warnings
continue for the coastal waters. TS Arthur will lift through the
waters Monday, pushing ENE quickly late Monday afternoon and
evening. Strong NE/E winds expected in the morning, becoming
more W/NW in the afternoon as the center of the storm pushes
ENE. Seas will build to 5-10 ft tonight then peak at 10-15 ft
Monday. Very dangerous marine conditions expected overnight and
Monday.

Long Term /Monday night through Friday/...
As of 240 PM Sun...Generally poor boating weather expected much
of this period. Tropical Storm Arthur will depart to the E Mon
night with winds becoming NE 15 to 20 kts N and light S...seas
will subside to 3 to 5 feet. High pres to the N and low pres to
the SW or W then expected thru Thu with winds mainly E to SE at
10 to 20 kts...low confidence for speeds as slight change in sfc
low track or intensity could lead to stronger winds at times.
Seas will build to 5 to 8 feet central and N and 4 to 6 ft S
through mid week.

Low pressure developing inland brings increasing southwest winds
and building seas Tuesday. A series of shortwaves is expected to
impact the region mid-to-late week, bringing periods of breezy
winds and increased seas, though timing of these features
remains uncertain.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 240 PM Sun...Increased medium period swell from Trop
Storm Arthur passing just offshore will impact all area beaches
through early next week. Stronger and more frequent rip currents
and more powerful surf and shorebreak will make swimming
dangerous for all levels.

Have issued High Surf Advisory for the beaches north of Cape
Lookout with rough surf and potential for minor erosion.
Localized ocean overwash will also be possible for the beaches
north of Lookout.

Minor surge impacts expected for many areas adjacent to the
ocean, sounds and rivers Monday with the potential for minor
inundation 1-2 ft agl. Initially Monday the threat may be more
along the Crystal Coast and areas adjacent to the southern
Pamlico Sound with the E/NE winds. Then threat is expected to
shift to the soundside of the Outer Banks Monday afternoon and
early evening as the winds shift to the NW.
