Update to potential Nor’easter | Eastern NC Now

News Release:

    Good Morning Everyone:

    Please see attached PDF Weather Briefing created by the NWS for further information about this potential Nor'easter. I have also attached a copy of the Flash Flood Watch that was issued for Beaufort and surrounding Counties.

    Any time after 3:00pm today we can expect the possibility of periods of heavy rain, however, after 6:00pm the chances increase to 100% of steady to heavy rainfall. This means we will experience the winds and heavy rains during the hours of darkness which increases driving weather related hazards. The good news is that the majority of the County Government employees will have already left work. First Responders and County employees that are working or could be responding to monitor the weather and please make them aware of the potential for high water and downed trees across roadways which requires good defensive driving procedures and actions for the weather we are expecting.

    If you have any questions please feel free to call us. Remember when approaching high water on roadways: "Turn around, don't drown!". For an updated understanding of the inclement weather assured to hit our area, please use the links below: PDF for the notice, and the second advisory for the maps.
