High Surf Advisory, Coastal Flood Statement Statement as of ...HIGH:SURF ADVISORY IN on UNTIL 11, PM

...High Threat Of Rip Currents In Effect Through Wednesday Evening...

1024 am EDT Tue may 13 2008

... High surf advisory remains in effect until 11 PM EDT Wednesday
from Cape Hatteras north...

A high surf advisory remains in effect until 11 PM EDT Wednesday
for the Outer Banks from Cape Hatteras north.

... High threat of rip currents in effect from this morning
through Wednesday evening from Cape Lookout north...

Low pressure off the mid Atlantic coast will continue to move
slowly east and weaken today and tonight. The low will produce
gale force northerly winds across the coastal waters through this
afternoon.

Large swell with seas 9 to 11 feet associated with the low will
impact the Outer Banks through Wednesday creating dangerous surf
conditions. The high surf will also produce minor beach erosion
and ocean overwash... especially around times of high tide. High
tide will be around 330 this afternoon and around 4 am tonight.
This morning portions of Highway 12 near Nags Head and Kill Devil
Hills are experiencing ocean overwash but the roads was still
passable.

Residents along the Outer Banks should monitor this situation
closely and take actions to protect property from the high ocean
levels. Drivers should be prepared for water on Highway 12 and
adjust speeds accordingly.

The swell will also produce rough surf and dangerous rip
currents... especially at the more east exposed beaches for the
next couple of days.

A high risk for rip currents means that wind and or wave
conditions support particularly dangerous rip currents. Rip
currents that form may become life threatening to anyone entering
the surf. The most likely times for these rip currents will be a
few hours either side of low tide... which will be around 9 PM
today... and 10 am on Wednesday.

Rip currents are strong narrow channels of water that flow away
from the beach. If you become caught in a rip current... remain
calm. Try to swim parallel to shore. Once you are away from the
force of the current... begin to swim back to the beach. Do not
attempt to swim directly against a rip current. Even a strong
swimmer can become exhausted quickly.

A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area... producing rip currents and localized beach
erosion.

... HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...
... HIGH THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS MORNING
THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...

Wind Advisory Statement as of 3:52 am EDT on May 13, 2008

... A Wind Advisory is in effect until 5 PM EDT this afternoon...
... The High Wind Warning has been cancelled...

The National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City has issued
a Wind Advisory for the Outer Banks... which is in effect until 5 PM
EDT this afternoon. The High Wind Warning which was previously in
effect has been cancelled.

Low pressure off the mid Atlantic coast will continue to move
slowly east and weaken through tonight. Although the low will
still produce gusty north northwest winds... sustained speeds have
diminished from greater than 40 mph to 30 to 40 mph this morning
and will continue to subside to 25 to 35 mph this afternoon.
Although winds will be slowly diminishing... they still will be
strong enough to impact driving and to blow down tree limbs.

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 31 to 39 mph with higher
gusts are expected. Winds this strong can make driving
difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra
caution.
