    Confidence continues to increase that Eastern NC will experience some impacts from the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Sally beginning tomorrow and indirectly extending into next week.

    - Heavy rain with possible flash flooding tomorrow and Friday

    - A slight severe weather, with the main threats being a few damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes especially late tomorrow into Friday.

    - Prolonged strong northeasterly winds behind the remnants of Sally, leading to possible coastal flooding, large waves, dangerous rip currents, and potentially significant beach erosion and ocean overwash.
