NWS: Severe weather today, coastal hazards early next week

We continue to monitor the potential for severe weather today, with a first round of thunderstorms possible beginning early this afternoon, then another round later this evening and overnight. The greatest threat for severe weather exists generally north of Kinston and Washington. Please see the attached one-pager for more information.

Additionally, we are still expecting a prolonged period of coastal hazards as low pressure remains nearly stationary off our coast Sunday through Wednesday of next week. Winds have trended a bit stronger with the latest forecast update, increasing confidence that the area will experience impacts from ocean overwash and coastal flooding. Dangerous surf conditions and strong rip currents are also expected.
