flooding will extend inland from the waterfront causing flooding
of many homes and businesses with some structural damage
possible. In some areas, battering waves will cause additional
damage to property. Numerous roads will be impassable under
several feet of water and vehicles will be submerged. 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.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through

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 8 AM EDT
WEDNESDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT
WEDNESDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT TUESDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, up to 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 7 to 10 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.
* WHERE...Hatteras Island.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 8 AM EDT
Wednesday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT
Tuesday through Tuesday 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. Numerous road closures and flooding of vehicles
will be possible, including portions of NC 12. 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...Tonight, water levels rises of 2 to 3 feet
will be possible around times of high tide. However, as we get
into Tuesday afternoon, a combination of strong northerly winds,
wave run up, and already battered and weakened dune and other
oceanside structures will bring the potential of more
significant impacts to Hatteras Island, mostly north of Cape
Hatteras, tomorrow afternoon and overnight (Tuesday 10/14) high
tides. Additionally, minor soundside flooding likely Tuesday
into Wednesday.
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.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 12, 7:44 PM EDT, 37 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
744 PM EDT Sun Oct 12 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
Coastal low will slowly pull away through Monday, continuing
to produce coastal hazards. High pressure finally begins to
move back in by mid- week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 4 PM Sun...Coastal storm observed rotating in Onslow Bay
and only slowly drifting north as of mid afternoon. Most
guidance in agreement with forecasting the low to drift across
the ENC waters south of the Crystal Coast through tonight, then
pull eastward on Mon. This will keep breezy conditions in place
tonight, though all wind headlines have been dropped with gusts
expected to be in the 30-40 mph, then decreasing from there late
as the low continues to fill. Sct to numerous showers and light
rain/drizzle will cont across all of ENC as the low works in
tandem with upper shortwave swinging through tonight. Amounts
will be light, with totals of 0.25 - 0.50" through the
overnight. Temps will continue mild with lows in the upper 50s
interior to mid 60s OBX.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
As of 4 PM Sun...Aforementioned coastal low will slowly drift
eastwards and away from the ENC coastal waters through the day
Mon. Breezy conditions through the day as winds veer nwrly, with
gusts of 15-25 mph inland zones to 25-35 mph immediate coast. A
few showers/light rain/drizzle esp through the morning hours as
plentiful low level moisture will remain, but rain amounts
generally less than 0.10". Otherwise, ovc skies remain and cool
temps for the second week of Oct with highs in the 65-70 degree
range.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 235 PM Sun...Mostly dry, seasonable and breezy through
the week. Winds will grad back to the NNW by Monday and remain
so through most of the upcoming week. High pressure builds
across the Southeast U.S. Tuesday will start a period of dry
weather that's currently forecast to last through the end of
next week. Temps near climo, feeling more like mid-October with
highs falling into the 60s late week and lows in the 40s/50s.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through 00z Tues/...
As of 745 PM Sun...
Key Messages
- Coastal low to continue to impact ENC with low CIGs, vsbys and
gusty winds through tonight
Mix of MVFR and IFR conditions still in place with strong and
gusty northeast winds as complex coastal low continues to linger
offshore sits just off the NC coast. Expecting an expansion of
IFR cigs as low begins to move away from the area tonight and
winds ease in response, although still staying at 10-15 kt.
There will likely be some bouncing back and forth between flight
categories with variance between 800-1200 ft. Light rain this
evening will give way to drizzle overnight. Light rain chances
persist into tomorrow, especially for EWN-OAJ.
Drier air finally begins to work into the area tomorrow from the
west, but low-level moisture will likely hold strong into the
afternoon. MVFR is likely by the afternoon for all terminals,
with a slight chance (20%) of VFR for inner coastal plain
terminals just before 00z Tues.
LONG TERM /Monday night through Friday/...
As of 235 PM Sun...Widespread sub-VFR conditions likely to
continue into Monday night, grad improving Tue. Gusty NE winds
are expected to continue as well, eventually becoming
northwesterly.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Tonight/...
As of 4 PM Sun...Low pres analyzed over Onslow Bay cont to
slowly weaken, and wind gradient is responding with all areas
below gales at this time. May cont to see ocnl gusts to 34+ kt
for a few hours, but widespread gusts have ended. Have replaced
all gales with SCA's as a result.
Winds are SE across the Gulf Stream and have diminished to 10-20
kt, while NE winds across rest of the area 15-25 kt with gusts
to 30 kt this evening. As the low slowly moves east on Mon, all
of ENC waters become nwrly with speeds cont in the 15-25 kt
range with higher gusts nearing 30 kt.
Seas will cont on the high side, in the range of 8-14 ft.
LONG TERM /Monday night through Friday/...
As of 235 PM Sun...
Key Messages
- Coastal low and then a tight pressure gradient will keep
hazardous marine conditions in the forecast through at least
mid week
Conditions should continue to grad improve Monday night as the
low moves off to the east. Behind it, a tight pressure gradient
will persist for several days due to strong high pressure
building in from the west. Winds will be at least 20-30 kts out
of the NW through mid week, and could strengthen to Gale
strength at times. Seas will remain elevated and around the
range of 6-10 ft, highest north of Hatteras Inlet.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 235 PM Sun...Coastal Flood Warnings and Advisories remain
in effect with a coastal low meandering off the NC coast. Water
levels have peaked, but will remain elevated into Mon.
The main concern will continue to be areas along oceanside
areas of OBX Dare county north of Cape Hatteras where the
combination of wind surge, high astronomical tides, and wave run
up will lead to the potential for major coastal flooding (2-4
ft AGL). This includes already vulnerable areas like Buxton,
Rodanthe, and Pea Island, but significant overwash impacts could
be seen north of Oregon Inlet as well. Portions of NC-12 are
currently closed from Oregon Inlet to Rodanthe, along with
portions in Ocracoke.
Moving over to the sounds and inland rivers, Coastal Flood
Warnings remain in effect for areas adjacent to the southern
Pamlico Sound, Core Sound, and Neuse and Bay Rivers. Here up to
2-4 ft AGL of inundation is possible, with several areas seeing
the higher end of that range due to persistent very strong winds
across the Pamlico Sound earlier today. Persistent gusty NE
winds will keep water levels elevated, slowly improving late
tonight and Mon. High water has lead to portions of NC-12
between Cedar Island and Atlantic to be closed. Along and
adjacent to Bogue Sound as well as around the Pamlico River, up
to 1-2 ft AGL of inundation is possible into Mon.
Coastal flooding will continue tonight and into tomorrow to a
lesser extent as strong winds (with changing wind directions)
persist due to a strong pressure gradient.
