    Hello,

    A slow moving, developing low pressure system offshore, is forecast to come ashore into South Carolina Saturday or Sunday. This low will bring widespread showers/possible thunderstorms and strong northeasterly winds to eastern NC beginning Thursday night and continuing into the Memorial Day weekend.

    Some impacts expected form this system include:

    Rainfall of 1-3" with locally heavier amounts possible through Memorial Day (Monday).

    Gale Force Winds with seas building to 10-15 ft Friday night into Saturday.

    The strong winds will also result in rough surf, minor coastal flooding (ocean and sound side), localized ocean over wash north of Cape Lookout, and an elevated rip current risk for the beaches.

    The main coastal flood concerns will be oceanside north of Cape Lookout, and sound side adjacent to the southern Pamlico Sound, Neuse, Bay, Pamlico, and Pungo Rivers.

    Another briefing will be issued by 8 AM Thursday morning. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

    Regards,
