BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
602 PM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has extended the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Bladen County in southeastern North Carolina...

* Until 715 PM EDT.

* At 602 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing 
  heavy rain across the warned area. Between 3 and 6 inches of rain 
  have fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin 
  shortly.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

  SOURCE...Radar.

  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban
           areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as
           other poor drainage and low-lying areas.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Elizabethtown, Rowan, Lagoon, Lisbon, Carvers, Emerson, Elkton, 
  Council, Ruskin, Ammon, Kelly, White Oak, Clarkton, White Lake, 
  East Arcadia and Bladen County Hospital.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Dangerous flooding from heavy rainfall can be expected, especially 
near poor drainage areas and other flood prone locations. It is 
harder to recognize flood dangers at night, as it will be difficult 
to determine the depth of the water. Roads may be damaged or washed 
away. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. If flooding is observed, 
then turn around, don't drown.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
124 PM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will move ashore on Monday bringing increasingly
heavy rainfall and gusty winds especially at the coast. Drier
air will build back into the region Tuesday. After a warm
Wednesday a weak cold front will bring more seasonable
temperatures beginning Thursday.

&&

.UPDATE...
No changes to the going forecast this update.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The main forecast concern continues to be the entity offshore,
PTC 8, and its evolution during the next 24 hours. Several weak
surface circulations well north of the center have developed and
then dissipated during the last several hours with convection
pulsing in these areas. The actual center of PTC 8 is well to
the south of the convection, making the forecast today and
tonight rather problematic. The overall forecast outlook has not
changed, but the finer details refuse to come into focus.
Strong/gusty winds today, coastal flooding from persistent
northeast winds (with enhancement today) and periods of heavy
rain with potential for flooding in areas that see multiple
rounds of heavy rain. Rainfall totals across the area could
range from around 0.50" to in excess of 5 inches. Given the
latest development and motion on radar would have to say
southeast NC looks to have the best shot for the highest
rainfall totals. However, given the high amount of uncertainty
with respect to the system, confidence in the exact details is
pretty low and even the areas favored for heaviest rain could
very well change. The wind forecast also remains problematic and
depends on the location/track and strength of PTC8. Will
certainly be a breezy to windy day, but again, the finer
details remain elusive. Stay tuned.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Leftover showers should be exiting the northwestern edges of the
forecast area early on Tuesday morning with drier air and
subsidence arriving in the mid-upper atmosphere in the wake of
PTC 8. However, low-level moisture is progged to remain in
place due to continued south to southwesterly flow on the
southeast side of the system. Thus, at least light shower
activity will remain possible during the day on Tuesday in any
confluence bands that wrap into the system, although PoPs are no
higher than 30%. Otherwise, mixed clouds and sun should be the
story on Tuesday with highs reaching the low 80s.

Over Tuesday night and Wednesday, the remnant low of PTC 8
should dry out well northwest of the area while dry air and
subsidence continue in the mid-upper atmosphere, supporting
partly cloudy and seasonable conditions. Expect lows in the
mid- upper 60s and daytime highs in the low-mid 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
General troughiness should remain in place through the period
with a weak closed low complicating the forecast. As precip
chances and even cloud cover will depend on the evolution of
smaller-scale lobes of vorticity rotating about the closed low,
confidence is low through the period. Nevertheless, with low-
level moisture remaining plentiful, daily chances for mainly
afternoon showers and thunderstorms remain in the forecast. A
weak backdoor front may drop down late in the week, but when it
crosses through remains a question. Temperatures should hold
near normal through the week before dropping a few degrees
behind the backdoor front.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Mix of MVFR and IFR across the region this afternoon will persist
into the evening as Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 lingers in the
region. Gusty winds will gradually abate, particularly during the
late afternoon into the evenings but CIGS may not improve until
after daybreak Tuesday.

Extended Outlook...MVFR/IFR possible early each morning through
Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Through Tonight...
Treacherous marine conditions continue today with PTC 8
lurking. Regardless of how the system evolves, strong northeast
winds over the waters and seas over 10 ft will be area wide
today with conditions slow to improve tonight. Do not expect
conditions favorable for the operations of smaller craft to
develop until close to the end of the period, and perhaps not
until after.

Tuesday through Friday...
Southerly flow is expected through midweek as the remains of PTC
8 dry out well inland. A weak backdoor front should bring a wind
direction shift late in the week, although exactly when is difficult
to determine at this time. Nevertheless, a weak gradient should
keep winds around or below 10 kts through the majority of the
period. Wave heights are expected to gradually subside through
Thursday with the easterly 9-10 sec swell dominating the wave
spectrum.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Elevated astronomical tides, strong northeast winds and large
swells in association with Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight
will cause elevated water levels along the coasts of SE NC and
NE SC leading to minor to perhaps moderate coastal flooding at
times early this week.

Other - Rip Currents:
Easterly swells will cause a high risk of rip currents for all
beaches today. Persistent northeasterly winds will produce
moderate to strong longshore currents.

&&

.ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
