...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS
MORNING THROUGH THIS 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 6 PM EDT this 
  evening. For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 PM EDT Wednesday. 
  For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT this morning 
  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. 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...The combination of strong onshore winds,
  high astronomical tides, wave run up, and already battered and
  weakened dune and other oceanside structures will bring the
  potential of significant impacts to Hatteras Island, mostly
  north of Cape Hatteras, with this afternoon's high tide. 
  Additionally, minor soundside flooding is expected to begin 
  later today and last through at least 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.

WEDNESDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THURSDAY...
...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 6 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 6 to
  9 feet in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards Statement,
  dangerous rip currents, large breaking waves, and strong
  longshore currents in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood
  Advisory, up to 1 to 2 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 Wednesday. 
  For the Beach Hazards Statement, until 8 PM EDT this evening. 
  For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 8 PM EDT Thursday.

* IMPACTS...Up to 1 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. Strong longshore currents will 
  create dangerous swimming conditions.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The combination of strong onshore winds,
  high astronomical tides, wave run up, and already battered and
  weakened dune and other oceanside structures will bring the
  potential of additional impacts to Hatteras Island, mostly 
  north of Cape Hatteras, around the time of high tide through 
  Thursday. Additionally, minor soundside flooding is expected to 
  last through at least Wednesday.

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.

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.

Hatteras Island-
807 PM EDT Tue Oct 14 2025

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT
THURSDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT
WEDNESDAY NORTH OF CAPE HATTERAS...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING
THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING NORTH OF CAPE HATTERAS...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1 to 2 feet of
  inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines
  and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking
  waves of 6 to 9 feet in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards 
  Statement, dangerous rip currents and large breaking waves 
  expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE...Hatteras Island.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 8 PM EDT 
  Thursday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 PM EDT 
  Wednesday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from Wednesday 
  morning through Wednesday evening.

* IMPACTS...Up to 1 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. 

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The combination of gusty onshore winds,
  high astronomical tides, wave run up, and already battered and
  weakened dune and other oceanside structures will bring the
  potential of additional impacts to Hatteras Island, mostly north
  of Cape Hatteras, around the time of high tide through Thursday.
  Additionally, minor soundside flooding is expected to continue
  into Wednesday.

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.

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.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
747 PM EDT Mon Oct 13 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Double barrel low setup off the East Coast will slowly
consolidate into a broader low and sink south through the
Atlantic waters off the NC coast tomorrow. High pressure builds
in mid week with dry and unseasonably cool weather.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 4 PM Mon...Ovc skies and cool conditions across ENC late
this afternoon. Some patchy drizzle still possible through early
evening, esp along the srn coast, but won't amount to any
accums. Mainly dry overnight, though widespread cloud cover will
persist. As upper low over the Great Lakes dives south towards
morning, some light rain may break out acrs the northern tier
and towards the OBX by around daybreak. Otherwise, seasonable
temps expected with lows in the 50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
As of 4 PM Mon...The two SFC lows off the East Coast begin to
consolidate with the DelMarVA low sinking SEward to merge with
the Sern low and move well off the NC coast. With upper low
diving through ENC, an inc in pops can be expected. Inc pops
quite a bit, with 40-60% coastal areas, highest OBX zones. HREF
guidance is even a bit higher, so there is some room to inc them
a bit more. Much lesser chances for rain further west towards
the Coastal Plain, where 20% or less is advertised. It will be
overcast again, even for areas that don't see much rain, so have
dropped max T's quite a bit, with highs expected only in the
mid 60s for most locales.

With the offshore low(s) moving southward off the NC coast, an
inc in the northerly gradient will bring gusty winds to the
coast, with speeds up to 40 mph or so expected by the afternoon
hours.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 3 AM Mon...

Key Messages...

- We turn breezy and cooler this week with lows bottoming out
  in the low 40s Friday and Saturday mornings

- Dry and breeze conditions through this weekend. Next chance of
  rain possible by early next week

Mostly cloudy and cool conditions persist Tuesday with moisture
from the coastal low and nearby upper trough still over ENC. A
few widely scattered and light showers will be possible along
the coast Tuesday as well. High pressure then builds in for
Wednesday with highs in the low to mid 70s, with a cooler
airmass moving in for Thursday and Friday (highs in the 60s)
thanks to a reinforcing cold front. High pressure re-centers
over the southern Mid-Atlantic Saturday, and then moves offshore
Sunday which will signal a return to above normal conditions.
The next chance of rain may come late Sunday or Monday as a
quick moving and moisture-starved front moves across the
Southeast.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Tuesday/...
As of 730 PM Mon...Currently have a mix of MVFR and VFR ceilings
with cloud decks ranging from 2.5-4.0 kft and light N'rly winds
across ENC this evening. With some drier air coming in out
ahead of a S'ward moving upper low we could see a brief period
of VFR conditions especially across inland TAF sites until
about 03-06Z with OBX and coastal sites likely seeing MVFR
ceilings at 2-3 KFT through the overnight hours.Conditions then
deteriorate later tonight as moisture begins to advect in from
the north as an upper level low moves into the Mid-Atlantic.
This will bring MVFR ceilings to all of ENC with the potential
for IFR ceilings along the OBX and PGV/EWN terminals after 06Z.
Expect conditions to not improve much through much of the day
on Tue with sub-VFR conditions forecast across all terminals
into Tue evening. Some light rain is possible at all TAF sites
tomorrow, but eastern terminals, and especially eastward from
there towards the coast and OBX, have the best chance of some
light rain. Given the uncertainty have elected to keep precip
out of the TAF forecast for now. Light winds through tonight
will pick up out of the north on Tue with gusts of up to 20 kt
through late morning and the afternoon.

LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
As of 3 AM Mon...Mostly VFR conditions are likely through the
week with cooler and drier high pressure over the region.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Tuesday/...
As of 0300 Monday...Two low pres systems off the East Coast will
consolidate into one while remaining offshore on Tue. Winds will
generally be in the 10-20 kt range tonight, with an inc in winds
on Tue as the low(s) move southward but well off the NC coast.
This will create a pinched gradient, with another chance of
gales back in the forecast after 18z, mainly for the coastal
waters north of Ocracoke Inlet, but also ern portions of Pamlico
Sound as well as the Croatan/Roanoke sounds. ECM probs for gale
gusts are 50-80% now for these zones, so have opted to issue a
gale watch starting at 18z and going through 06Z Wed.

Seas will continue in the 6-8 ft range through tonight, then an
uptick later Tue into Tue night 8-10 ft with the northerly
surge.

LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
As of 3 AM Mon...

Key Messages

 - A tight pressure gradient will keep hazardous marine
   conditions in the forecast through at least mid week with
   marginal Gale conditions possible at times

As low pressure pulls away from the region Tuesday, strong high
pressure will build in from the NW, and will keep the pressure
gradient tight through most of the week. Winds will be NNW/N at
20-30 kts, with gusts 30-35 kts, with a few lulls through
Friday. Seas will rebuild to 6-10 ft, but could be higher north
of Cape Hatteras.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 740 PM Mon... Made some minor changes since the previous
update which includes issuing coastal flood warnings for
tomorrows high tide for Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, and a
Coastal FLood advisory for the Northern OBX. High surf advisory
was also issued for the OBX north of Cape Hatteras for tomorrow.

Though the coastal low has weakened, and will pull away from
the region Tue/Wed, minor to moderate coastal flooding will
continue due to persistent northerly winds.

Outer Banks: Coastal Flood Warning now persists through Wed
morning for Hatteras Island where significant impacts (2-4 ft
AGL) are again possible, mainly starting during tomorrow
afternoon's high tide as a strong surge of N'rly winds has the
potential to produce similar impacts to previous days events.
Due to offshore winds and decreasing swell, the Coastal Flood
Warning for Ocracoke has been replaced with an Advisory for now,
and mostly minor oceanside impacts (1-2 ft AGL) are expected
with tonight's high tide. However as the strong N'rly surge
impacts Ocracoke on Tue we will once again have the potential to
see minor to moderate coastal flooding impacts (2-3 ft AGL) and
as a result have a coastal flood warning now in place across
Ocracoke starting at 11AM Tue and persisting into Wed morning.
On the sound side, strong and steady northerly flow will lead to
minor flooding impacts beginning later today from around Avon
south to Ocracoke Village, and linger through at least
Wednesday.

Downeast Carteret, Craven, Pamlico: Coastal Flood Advisories
remain in place, and an extended period of minor flooding (1-2
ft AGL, locally up to 3 ft a times) is anticipated due to strong
northerly winds. Flooding may be worsened around high tide
early this week due to still higher than normal astronomical
tides, with minor flooding impacts lasting through at least
Wednesday.

Finally have also included a high surf advisory for the beaches
north of Cape Hatteras as seas should build close to 6-10ft in
the surf zone Tue afternoon as a potent surge of N'rly winds
works its way south. On top of the higher seas, wave periods
will be 10+ sec resulting in another round of powerful swell
impacting the area potentially enhancing impacts to already
weakened dune structures. The High surf advisory goes out until
Wed morning as well.
