Strong to severe thunderstorms, as well as isolated tornados are possible between 7am and midnight Friday, as bands associated with Nicole move through our area.
Please see the email below and attached briefing from the National Weather Service for additional information. We will continue to pass along information as we receive it.
We encourage everyone to ensure that you, your family, friends and neighbors have a way of receiving weather related watches and / or warnings. (Alert notifications on your cell phone and other smart devices, weather radios, etc.)

Good Morning,
Minor coastal flooding has abated as the gusty northeast winds have diminished, therefore remaining coastal flood advisories in effect today will expire after this morning's high tide, which is around 8:30 AM.
We want to turn your attention to Friday, when the impacts from the remnants of TC Nicole are expected across Eastern NC. The main impact from Nicole will be the threat for a few tornadoes and severe wind gusts in thunderstorms, as outer bands from the storm move through the area. The tornado threat is expected to begin by around sunrise, and last through much of the morning into early afternoon. There may be a break in showers and storms later in the afternoon, though another round of showers and storms, again with a tornado and damaging wind risk, could impact Eastern NC in the evening. Any severe threat should be over by around midnight.
As south winds increase late in the day Friday and peak Friday night, some minor water level rises are possible on the Soundside of Hatteras Island north of Buxton. Winds turn southwest late Friday night into early Saturday, with the potential for minor inundation continuing Saturday morning, with improving conditions by the afternoon.
See attached 2-page briefing for the tornado and coastal flood threat details.
