From NC’s Weather Authority on FB: The coastal low is ramping up off the Outer Banks, winds are gusting 40-55MPH along parts of the coast, especially the Outer Banks and Downeast Carteret County. Coastal flooding is beginning in the vulnerable areas of Buxton on Hatteras Island hours ahead of high tide. More flooding is possible here and over on Pea Island in the Canal Zone near Oregon Inlet. Highway 12 could be closed at times through the afternoon.
