Attached is our only planned briefing on a coastal low forecast to impact eastern North Carolina starting tonight and lasting into Wednesday.Key MessagesHeavy rainfall is expected to accompany this system, especially for immediate coastal locales where some embedded thunderstorms are possible. Up to 2" with locally higher amounts are forecast here, with 1-2" elsewhere.A few strong thunderstorms are possible. Most of this activity should remain offshore, but there is a low chance (10-20%) a supercell could drift onshore posing a threat for gusty winds or a brief tornadoCooler nearshore waters will keep winds low enough to mitigate any impactful coastal flooding. However, the presence of king tides and rough surf, especially between Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout, could pose an overwash risk to Highway 12 especially in areas with vulnerable dune structures.This is the only briefing for this system. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.I just got back from out of state and want to shout out that Beach Farmers Thanksgiving Dinner looked pretty damn good!
Cannot believe it is 63 degrees in Frisco this morning! The rain though is badly needed by the looks of the sandbars sticking up around Oregon Inlet later yesterday afternoon while driving in.33 in my hometown this morning and snowing! What a temp difference....

Hahahaha! About an hour ago, had some sideways rain, big ol' fat rain, and rain that come up from unda-neath!
Bent,I'm not sure the rain will affect the water level at OI. That's more than likely the wind direction.My mind immediately went to the old saying... "Like peeing in the ocean trying to raise the water level."
Power shouldn't be a problem today, Bent unless a pole gets taken out. It's dead calm with no wind. We're making a few cookie dough batches today for Christmas and the view outside is the perfect backdrop. Sorry you're getting rained on.
