    ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 8 AM EDT TUESDAY... ...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 8 AM EDT TUESDAY...

    WHAT: For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip
    currents, large breaking waves expected, and strong longshore
    currents in the surf zone. For the High Surf Advisory, large
    breaking waves of 8 to 14 feet expected in the surf zone. For
    the Coastal Flood Warning, 2 to 4 feet of inundation above
    ground level expected in low- lying areas near shorelines and
    tidal waterways.

    WHERE: Hatteras Island.

    WHEN: For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT this
    morning through this evening. For the High Surf Advisory, from
    2 PM this afternoon to 8 AM EDT Tuesday. For the Coastal Flood
    Warning, from 5 PM this afternoon to 8 AM EDT Tuesday.

    IMPACTS: 2 to 4 feet of inundation above ground level is
    expected in some areas near shorelines and tidal waterways
    resulting in an elevated threat of property damage. Flooding
    will extend inland from the waterfront threatening some homes
    and businesses. Numerous road closures and flooding of vehicles
    will be possible. Vulnerable portions of NC-12 may be inundated,
    especially around high tide. There is a possibility of being
    stranded on Hatteras Island for multiple days. This could be
    life threatening if you have an emergency. Dangerous swimming
    and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion.

    ADDITIONAL DETAILS: This has the potential to be a long
    duration event bringing more significant ocean overwash
    impacts to vulnerable oceanside areas through multiple high
    tide cycles into next week. Minor soundside water level rises
    will also be possible.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
    closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
    unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
    property. Prepare for being stranded on Hatteras Island for
    multiple days. Prepare for disruptions to ferries by this evening
    and lasting into at least part of next week.

    Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
    dangerous surf conditions.
