of property damage around the times of high tide. Flooding
will extend inland from the waterfront threatening some homes

vehicles will be possible, most notably along NC 12 where
ocean overwash may make several portions of the highway

Depending on the exact track and strength of the low, there is
potential for major coastal flooding impacts from ocean
overwash, and users are urged to check back in on the forecast
the rest of the week. The most likely time for strong rip
currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide,
which will occur around 3:05 PM 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.
