All tagged rip currents
As a result of Hurricane Earl, we will continue to experience an extended period of life threatening rip currents for all Eastern NC beaches through this weekend and likely into early next week. In addition the combination of onshore flow, high astronomical tides, and Hurricane Earl swell will lead to minor oceanside coastal flooding again around this evenings high tide. A HIGH RISK for Rip Currents continues for All Beaches today.
As a result of Hurricane Earl, we are becoming increasingly concerned about an extended period of life threatening rip currents for all Eastern NC beaches through this weekend and likely into early next week.
Tropical Storm Alex has formed this morning, but will continue to move away from the Southeast US this week. However, swell from this system will reach the NC coast later today, and an increased threat of dangerous rip currents is expected through at least mid week.
Advisories have started on PTC One in the southern Gulf of Mexico, which is expected to become Tropical Storm Alex later today. This system is expected to pass through southern Florida and then emerge into the Atlantic and pass several hundred miles south of NC Sunday.
