WHERE: A portion of eastern North Carolina, including the
following areas, Beaufort, Duplin, Greene, Inland Onslow, Jones,
Lenoir, Northern Craven, Pamlico, Pitt and Southern Craven.
WHEN: Through Saturday morning.
IMPACTS: Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS: - A stalled front will interact with an anomalously moist airmass,
supporting areas of intense rainfall rates as high as 2-3"/hr.
These rates will support a risk of flooding and flash flooding,
especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Additional
rainfall of 1-2" with locally higher amounts will be possible
within the watch area.
