A COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM EST
THURSDAY. A HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM EST
THURSDAY. 

LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE NORTH
CAROLINA COAST. AS A RESULT...THERE IS VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN THE
WEATHER SCENARIO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS WINDS HAVE
INCREASED AND THE STRONG LIKELIHOOD EXISTS FOR COASTAL FLOODING
AND EROSION. THE LOW WILL BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE COAST EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING.

THURSDAY MORNINGS HIGH TIDE WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 830 AM AND 10 AM
ALONG THE COAST AND RARITAN BAY. HIGH TIDES OCCUR A COUPLE OF
HOURS LATER OVER THE ADJACENT BACK BAYS AND INLETS.

TIDES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL OVERNIGHT AS PERSISTENT NORTHEAST
WINDS WILL KEEP THEM FROM DRAINING. DUE TO THE PERSISTENT ABOVE
NORMAL TIDE, MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING IS LIKELY FOR THURSDAY
MORNINGS HIGH TIDE ALONG THE COAST AND ADJACENT BACK BAYS AND
INLETS. THE ONGOING RAIN WILL EXACERBATE ROADWAY FLOODING AND IS
EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE HIGH TIDE ON THURSDAY MORNING.

THE THURSDAY EVENING HIGH TIDE IS ASTRONOMICALLY LOWER. BUT IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT MINOR TIDAL FLOODING MIGHT PERSIST THROUGH THE
THURSDAY EVENING HIGH TIDE.

IN ADDITION...A HIGH SURF ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED WHICH MEANS
