For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up\nto one half foot of inundation above ground level expected in\nlow-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.\n\n* WHERE...East Carteret County.\n\n* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, from Wednesday morning\nthrough Wednesday evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory,\nfrom 2 PM Wednesday to 11 AM EDT Friday.\n\n* IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is\npossible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways\nresulting in a low threat of property damage along the Neuse\nRiver. Some roads and low lying property including parking\nlots, parks, lawns, and homes adjacent to the waterfront will\nexperience shallow flooding. Rip currents can sweep even the\nbest swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore\nbreak can throw a swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom\ncausing neck and back injuries. Strong longshore currents will\ncreate dangerous swimming conditions.\n\n## Instructions\nIf travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be\nclosed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of\nunknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone\nproperty.\n\nRemain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions."}
