...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THURSDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM THURSDAY TO
NOON EDT SATURDAY...
* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 9 to
17 feet in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards Statement,
dangerous rip currents, large breaking waves expected, and
strong longshore currents in the surf zone. For the Coastal
Flood Warning, 2 to 4 feet of inundation above ground level
expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
* WHERE...Hatteras Island.
* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 PM EDT Saturday.
For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT Thursday
through Thursday evening. For the Coastal Flood Warning, from
4 PM Thursday to noon EDT Saturday.
* IMPACTS...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. Flooding
will extend inland from the waterfront threatening some homes
and businesses. Inundation of portions of Hwy 12 around high
tide is likely. 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. Strong longshore currents will
create dangerous swimming 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.

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. Strong longshore currents will create
dangerous swimming conditions.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The most critical factor in this event will
be the powerful ocean wave run up, which will bring seawater up
and over vulnerable dune structures, across roads, and onto
properties.
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.

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Friday
evening. For the Coastal Flood Warning, until noon EDT
Saturday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 5 AM EDT Sunday.
* IMPACTS...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. Flooding
will extend inland from the waterfront threatening some homes
and businesses. Inundation of portions of Hwy 12 around high
tide is likely. 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 critical factor in this event will
be the powerful ocean wave run up, which will bring seawater up
and over vulnerable dune structures, across roads, and onto
properties. High tide is around 8 PM this evening and 8:30 AM
Friday morning.
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.

...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EDT
SATURDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 AM EDT SUNDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, 2 to 4 feet of inundation
above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 8
to 14 feet in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards Statement,
dangerous rip currents, large breaking waves, and strong
longshore currents in the surf zone.
* WHERE...Hatteras Island.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, until noon EDT Saturday.
For the High Surf Advisory, until 5 AM EDT Sunday. For the
Beach Hazards Statement, through this evening.
* IMPACTS...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. Flooding
will extend inland from the waterfront threatening some homes
and businesses. Inundation of portions of Hwy 12 around high
tide is likely. 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. Strong longshore currents will
create dangerous swimming conditions.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The most critical factor in this event will
be the powerful ocean wave run up, which will bring seawater up
and over vulnerable dune structures, across roads, and onto
properties. High tide is at 8:30 PM this evening, and low tide
is around 9 AM Saturday morning.
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.

$$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 Sep 13, 6:53 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 13, 6:53 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
653 PM EDT Wed Sep 13 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross the area late tonight with high pressure
building in behind the front late week through the weekend.
Strong, long period swell from Hurricane Lee will build through
the rest of the week with the very large seas expected to peak
Thursday into Friday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
As of 650 PM Wed...Looks like the organized outflow boundary
has moved through all of eastern NC except for extreme western
Onslow and Duplin counties. The boundary should be through these
last remain areas by 00Z. The boundary clearing the area
combined with the loss of heating will lead to a significant
decrease in coverage and intensity of showers and thunderstorms
this evening. The main surface cold front was located over the
coastal plain and is forecast to move slowly east overnight and
should be off of the coast around 12Z Thu. With residual low
level moisture in place, the front could kick off a few
additional showers late this evening but expect most locations
to remain rain free after midnight tonight. The models are
indicating a deeper plume of moisture remaining along the
immediate coast overnight into Thu bringing a very low chance of
isolated coastal showers overnight into Thu. As Hurricane Lee
begins to track northward well off the coast late tonight into
Thu it will help to slowly bring down a drier and cooler airmass
into the Carolinas for late this week into the weekend. Lows
tonight inland will fall into the mid 60s, but along the coast
muggy low to mid 70s will hang on for one more night.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
As of 345 PM Wed...High pressure will gradually build into the
area tomorrow behind the front, but moisture will continue to
linger through the better part of the afternoon and on-and-off
shower activity is likely to persist primarily over the Outer
Banks. The more notable weather tomorrow will be a steady
increase in north to northeasterly winds as the pressure
gradient tightens between the surface high and Hurricane Lee,
which will by this point be several hundred miles to our east-
southeast. The Outer Banks will see the most prominent increase,
with sustained winds of up to 30 mph and gusts near 40 mph
especially late Thursday afternoon. Inland areas will be
relatively breezier too, but only at about half the strength.
Dew points will continue to fall through the day, and by
nightfall readings in the upper 50s are likely across the inner
coastal plain. Highs will again be a few degrees cooler, topping
out in the low to mid 80s inland and around 80 along the coast.
The increase in northerly winds, combined with increasing swell
from Hurricane Lee, will continue to bring further
deteriorating coastal conditions in the form of coastal
flooding, beach erosion, dangerous shorebreak, and life
threatening rip currents. See the TIDES/COASTAL FLOOD section
for more details.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 400 AM Wed...Dry, cool, but windy conditions are expected
Thursday and into the weekend as strong high pressure building
in from the north tightens the pressure gradient with Hurricane
Lee passing by offshore. The combination of strong winds and
large swells from Lee will bring the potential for coastal
flooding across ENC beaches, more details on that can be found
in the Tides/Coastal Flooding section below. By late this
weekend high pressure will build to the south with conditions
moderating, and a cold front early next week will bring the next
chances for rain.
Thursday night through Saturday...Strong high pressure over the
Great Lakes will quickly build southward behind the front, and
the pressure gradient will begin to tighten as Hurricane Lee
moves northward through the western Atlantic. This will bring
strong northerly winds to the area, with the potential for Gale
Force winds across the coast and Outer Banks. Another byproduct
of this setup will be the introduction of a much drier and
cooler airmass to the Carolinas with Autumn-like conditions
expected into the weekend, with highs in the upper 70s to low
80s and lows dipping down into the 50s inland.
Despite passing well offshore, confidence is very high that Lee will
bring dangerous coastal conditions in the form of coastal flooding,
beach erosion, dangerous shorebreak, and life threatening rip
currents.
Sunday through Tuesday...High pressure will build to the south
Sunday, and moderating conditions are expected with high temps
bumping back up into the low to mid 80s. A weak cold front will then
swing through late Sunday and is expected to stall offshore for some
time early next week. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
possible from Sunday night onward, with best chances likely along
the coast and across the near shore coastal waters.
&&
.AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Thursday/...
As of 650 PM Wed...Expecting primarily VFR conditions at the
TAF sites through the period. A cold front is forecast to move
east of the TAF sites after midnight allowing drier air to
filter into the region late tonight and Thu. This will end the
threat for additional showers/possible thunderstorms later this
evening. Overnight, there is some concern for the development of
low stratus behind the cold front. While most of the guidance
is backing away from this idea, the HRRR is indicating patchy
stratus developing 8-10Z and dissipating by 13Z Thu so will
handle this by forecasting a few/sct deck in the overnight
hours. Could also see some light fog as winds will likely
decouple for a few hours late tonight.
On Thursday, sky/vsby conditions rapidly improve but northerly
winds increase, with gusts up to 20 kt at times in the afternoon
for all terminals. Over the Outer Banks, gusts could be as high
as 35 kts.
LONG TERM /Thursday night through Monday/...
As of 400 AM Wed...Mostly VFR conditions are expected through
the weekend as cooler high pressure builds in. Gusty northerly
winds may bring some crosswind issues Thursday night and Friday.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /Through Thursday/...
As of 650 PM Wed...Gale Warnings have been posted for all of
the coastal waters and the Pamlico Sound. SCA's are in effect
for the remainder of the waters. The cold front will slowly
cross the waters late tonight and Thu. Ahead of the front
widespread convection has temporarily disrupted the gradient
wind flow with variable winds 10 kt or less occurring across the
waters early this evening. Winds are forecast to become N/NE
late tonight and early Thu and increase rapidly on Thu due to an
increased pressure gradient between high pressure building in
behind the front and Hurricane Lee, which is progged to be
several hundred miles off the NC coast. Area wide winds will
average 20-30 kts sustained, with highest winds over Raleigh
Bay, Pamlico Sound, and the waters north of Cape Hatteras.
Forecast wind speeds are close to the previous forecast, but
higher winds cover a slightly larger area.
Long period seas (14-16 seconds) will continue to build through
Thursday as Hurricane Lee continues to lift north. By the end
of the period, seas are forecast to be up to 11-15 feet with
highest waters over the central waters.
LONG TERM /Thursday night through Sunday/...
As of 400 AM Wed...Powerful long period swell (14-16 second
periods) from Hurricane Lee will bring hazardous marine
conditions to the coastal waters through this weekend as it
recurves across the western Atlantic.
Winds will slowly subside Friday and become 15-25 kts by
evening. Winds will continue to decrease Saturday, and then
switch to the SW at 10-15 kts on Sunday. Seas will slowly
subside into the weekend, but remain hazardous.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 355 PM Wed...Hurricane Lee will slowly progress northward
passing off the NC coast tomorrow and Friday producing strong,
long period southeasterly swell that will impact the entire
eastern seaboard. This longer period swell will continue to
build across ENC beaches over the next couple of days, peaking
tomorrow night into Friday. Very dangerous surf conditions with
large waves, strong rip currents, and powerful shorebreak will
persist into the weekend at all area beaches. High Surf Advisory
remains in effect for Hatteras and Ocracoke, the Northern OBX
and Core Banks, and the Crystal Coast beaches.
Additionally, the long period (14-18 seconds) will cause
extensive wave run-up, with the potential for significant beach
erosion, ocean overwash, and coastal flooding. In fact, during
last evening's high tide that wave run up was already impacting
the dune line with minor over-topping at Mirlo Beach. Dune
erosion will continue with each successive high tide and may
become compromised at vulnerable locations in the coming days,
especially across Hatteras Island and Ocracoke. Greatest impacts
are expected late Thursday through Saturday morning when surge
guidance showing water levels reaching minor to moderate flood
category at the Duck gauge. A Coastal Flood Warning has been
issued for oceanside locations from Cape Lookout to Duck for up
to 2 to 4 feet of inundation above ground level. A Coastal Flood
Advisory was issued for the Crystal Coast, as well as locations
along the southern Pamlico Sound and Neuse River, for up to 1 to
2 feet of inundation above ground level.
