Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight Local Statement Advisory Number 3
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC  AL082024
506 AM EDT Mon Sep 16 2024

This product covers Eastern North Carolina

**POTENTIAL TROPICAL CYCLONE EIGHT GRADUALLY NEARS THE SOUTHEASTERN
COAST TODAY**

NEW INFORMATION
---------------

* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
    - None

* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
    - A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Coastal Onslow, East
      Carteret, and West Carteret

* STORM INFORMATION:
    - About 250 miles southwest of Buxton NC or about 180 miles
      south-southwest of Morehead City NC
    - 32.4N 78.3W
    - Storm Intensity 50 mph
    - Movement Northwest or 325 degrees at 3 mph

SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight is currently located a couple of
hundred miles off the Southeastern US Coast this morning and has
continued to slowly track to the northwest over the warm waters of the
Gulf Stream as it nears the South Carolina and North Carolina Coast. Potential
Tropical Cyclone Eight could become a sub-tropical or tropical storm
later today just before it makes landfall this afternoon or evening.
Regardless of tropical development, eastern North Carolina will
experience some impacts from this system.

The main threat will be periods of heavy rain with storm total
rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches, with locally higher amounts
possible. The highest rainfall totals are expected for areas south of
Highway 70. This will bring the threat of localized flash flooding
especially in low-lying, urban, and poor drainage areas.

Tropical storm force winds have begun to impact coastal sections of
eastern North Carolina this morning and are forecast to continue into
Monday evening, mainly south of Ocracoke Inlet, potentially bringing
scattered tree damage and power outages.

A few tornadoes could produce locally significant damage across
eastern North Carolina with the greatest threat occurring today into
Tuesday.

Along the coast and tidal rivers, minor storm surge with inundation
1 to 3 feet above ground level remains possible through Tuesday night.
There also remains potential for minor ocean overwash along the coast
through mid week. Stronger and more frequent rip currents will also
exist along area beaches through much of the week.

Dangerous marine conditions will continue for the coastal waters,
sounds and rivers, with strong winds and dangerous seas. This will
create treacherous conditions for mariners.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* FLOODING RAIN:
Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
Eastern North Carolina. Remain well guarded against dangerous flood
waters having possible significant impacts. If
realized, these impacts include:
    - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and
      rescues.
    - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with swifter
      currents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially
      in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals, and
      ditches overflow.
    - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations.
      Several places may experience expanded areas of rapid
      inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
      areas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as
      storm drains and retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions
      become hazardous. Some road and bridge closures.

* SURGE:
Potential impacts from the main surge event are now unfolding across
vulnerable area of the coast and tidal rivers. Remain well away from
locally hazardous surge having additional limited impacts. If
realized, these impacts include:
    - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along
      immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
      farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    - Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become overspread
      with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where
      surge water covers the road.
    - Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly
      in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
    - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,
      and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across Eastern North Carolina, little to no impact is
anticipated.

* TORNADOES:
Potential impacts from tornadoes are still unfolding across Eastern
North Carolina. Remain well braced against a tornado event having
possible limited impacts. If realized, these impacts include:
    - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution
      of emergency plans during tropical events.
    - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power
      and communications disruptions.
    - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys
      toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned,
      large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees
      knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats
      pulled from moorings.

* WIND:
Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across
Carteret and Coastal Onslow Counties. Remain well sheltered from hazardous
wind having additional limited impacts. If realized, these impacts include:
    - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
      mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
    - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
      uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
      shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
    - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
      or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
      bridges and other elevated roadways.
    - Scattered power and communications outages.

Elsewhere across Eastern North Carolina, little to no impact is
anticipated.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Now is the time to stay inside and away from windows. Listen for
updates and be ready in case you lose electrical power. Keep a
battery-powered radio, charged cell phone and flashlight handy.

Keep your cell phone charged and in power-saving mode. If you lose
power, use it sparingly and mainly for personal emergencies and
check-ins.

If you are prone to flooding or in an area under a storm surge watch
or warning, be prepared for the possibility of a quick and dramatic
rise in water levels.

If a tornado warning is issued for your area, quickly move to the
safest place within your shelter. Protect your head and body.

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS
MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 1 to 3 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 11 feet in the surf zone. For the
  Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents and large
  breaking waves expected for all Hatteras Island beaches. For
  the Beach Hazards Statement, strong longshore currents in the
  surf zone from Cape Hatteras to Hatteras Inlet.

* WHERE...Hatteras Island.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 11 PM EDT Monday.
  For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 AM EDT Tuesday. For the
  Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT Monday through Monday
  evening.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only
  isolated road closures expected. 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 likely time for strong rip
  currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide,
  which will occur around 12:30 PM Monday.

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.
