Weather Event: May 7, 2015: Part I | Eastern North Carolina Now

News Release:

    Good Afternoon:

    Here is the latest update from the Hurricane Center for this Low Pressure soon to be sub-tropical event. I think the best way to prepare for this event is to assume we are going to have a Nor'easter come to visit starting tomorrow afternoon and probably not leaving until sometime Monday. All First Responder Units on the Eastern side of the county should expect the most impact from the storm in terms of heavy rainfall, wind and some storm surge type inundation at levels commensurate with past Nor'easters. Any roadways with water across them should be reported to 911 and water levels monitored. More updates to follow.

SPECIAL TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOKNWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL

    145 PM EDT THU MAY 7 2015

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

    Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the nearly stationary area of low pressure located about 210 miles south-southeast of the South Carolina-North Carolina border

    is now producing 40-45 mph winds mainly to the north and west of the center. Environmental conditions are favorable for some additional development, and any increase in the organization of the associated thunderstorm activity would result in the formation of a subtropical cyclone. The low is expected to drift to the north or north-northwest over the next couple of days, and interests along the southeastern coast of the United States should continue to monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, heavy rain is expected over portions of the coastal southeastern United States for the next few days. For additional information, see products from your local National Weather Service forecast office and High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. The next Special Tropical Weather Outlook on this system is scheduled for 8 PM EDT. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent

    New updates as required. It is time to stay, "Weather Aware"
