Weather Update: August 1, 2014 | Eastern North Carolina Now

News Release:

    Good Morning:

    I know its Friday (TGIF) and a possible wet day to day followed by another one Saturday and a fifty/fifty chance of rain on Sunday and Monday. The wet Summer continues and the only good news is that the chance of Severe Weather the next three days has been reduced, but not eliminated by NWS forecasters. However, there is the potential for street, ditch and small stream flooding during the next four days as a result of rains that could occur. “Turn Around Don’t Drown!”

    Tropical Storm Bertha has formed and all tracking models keep it from reaching the North Carolina Coast. Saying that, let me remind everybody August and September are the two primary months for Hurricane land strikes here in the United States and North Carolina. We must continue to maintain and improve our preparedness posture for Hurricanes and the hazards they bring. We will continue to monitor the status of the storm and provide updates as needed.

    First Responders, you know where standing water exist in your response areas so use appropriate caution and arrive alive at the incident. Thank You for your service to we the citizens of Beaufort County!

    Have a Great Day!
