NWS Morehead City dangerous rip currents / coastal flooding

As a result of Hurricane Earl, we will continue to experience an extended period of life threatening rip currents for all Eastern NC beaches through this weekend and likely into early next week. In addition the combination of onshore flow, high astronomical tides, and Hurricane Earl swell will lead to minor oceanside coastal flooding again around this evenings high tide. A HIGH RISK for Rip Currents continues for All Beaches today.
