Strong low pressure systems expected to bring wintry mix to Eastern NC

See our attached 2-page briefing on the upcoming storm for this weekend. We continue to have increased confidence that a multi-hazard storm system will impact Eastern NC Sunday into Monday. Inland areas may see a brief period of a wintry mix (freezing rain, sleet, light snow) early Sunday before transitioning to rain, heavy at times, by late Sunday morning through the afternoon.

For the majority of the event, heavy rain, wind, and coastal flooding will likely be the highest impacts. With strong southeast winds on Sunday shifting to the west or southwest Sunday night into Monday, minor to moderate water level rises are possible (see attached graphs for wintry mix and coastal flood impact areas). In addition, large waves will likely lead to ocean over wash and beach erosion.
