...TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT... ...WINDS... AS TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR MOVES CLOSER...THE THREAT FOR SUSTAINED HIGH WINDS IS LIKELY TO INCREASE. THE LATEST FORECAST IS FOR TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS FROM EARLY FRIDAY MORNING TO FRIDAY MORNING. A GENERAL CONCERN SHOULD BE FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF AT LEAST MINOR DAMAGE SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE AREA. ...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE... IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THE EXACT HEIGHTS OF COMBINED STORM SURGE AND TIDE WATERS FOR SPECIFIC LOCATIONS WITHIN THE FORECAST AREA TO BE CAUSED BY TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR. MUCH DEPENDS ON THE PRECISE SIZE...INTENSITY AND TRACK OF THE SYSTEM AS IT APPROACHES THE COAST. GIVEN THE LATEST FORECAST...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR COMBINED STORM SURGE AND ASTRONOMICAL TIDE WATER LEVELS UP TO 2 FEET ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL WITHIN AREAS CLOSER TO THE SOUND... RESULTING IN FLOOD INUNDATION UP TO 1 FEET ABOVE GROUND SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE SURGE ZONE. AT THIS TIME...THERE IS A GENERAL CONCERN FOR THE CHANCE OF AREAS OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. #ncwx
