Inundation of one to two feet will be possible for oceanside Hatteras and Ocracoke Island, as well as soundside Core Banks and the Neuse and Bay Rivers.
A High Surf Advisory is also in effect from Hatteras Island north for minor beach erosion and ocean overwash due to large breaking waves of 6-9 feet in the surf zone.
