The North Carolina Weather Forecast Office out of Newport/Morehead City has updated its forecast that a strong low will impact the area this beginning on Sunday. This system is coming almost exactly a week after a similar storm system caused heavy rain, high winds and forced disruptions to the ferry service.
The major concerns are winds gusting from the mid-40s to 60 mph, moderate to major coastal flooding, heavy rain and very dangerous marine conditions. There is a good chance that the ferry service will cease until conditions are safe to resume and there could be flooding on NC 12 on Hatteras Island.
The worst of this storm will be Sunday evening into Monday morning.
