Good Evening Everyone,

   Our office continues to monitor the potential impacts of an approaching coastal low. Highlights from the National Weather Service’s latest briefing include:

  • A Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for Beaufort County, meaning that minor flooding due to inundation from adjacent waterways is possible. (Especially for areas vulnerable to prolonged north winds.)
  • Frequent wind gust between 35 and 40 mph are possible for all areas of Beaufort County between noon Saturday and sunset Sunday. Again, areas east of Bath and Blounts Creek are more likely to experience these higher gusts.
  • Forecasted conditions for coastal areas east of Beaufort County continue to deteriorate, where winds are now forecasted to be between 45 and 60 mph Saturday and Sunday. Minor to major coastal flooding is expected with major to moderate ocean over wash expected along the Outer Banks.

   Please see the email below and attached briefing from the National Weather Service for more information.

As always, thank you all for what you do to keep Beaufort County informed, prepared and safe.
