From NCEM

 

Key Takeaways:

• Despite the eastward shift, coastal impacts from Maria are still possible

• Warm temperatures will continue for the next several days

• Fall officially begins tomorrow at 4:02PM

 

Tropical Outlook:

Hurricane Maria is currently passing north of the Dominican Republic and remains a very powerful hurricane. The official forecast track from the NHC and most model guidance have shifted eastward over the past 24 hours. Even with the current forecast track, we could still expect some coastal impacts. Dangerous surf and rip currents will likely continue along the entire coast through the weekend and into next week. Gusty winds, minor coastal flooding, ocean overwash/beach erosion, and isolated showers are also still possible. It is important to keep an eye on this storm over the coming days, as any westward shift in track would increase the threat of potential impacts.

 

Tropical Storm Jose will continue to weaken and eventually dissipate by the end of the weekend as it spins around well to our north and east. Jose along with Maria, will continue to bring increase surf and rip currents to the coast for the next several days.

 

Weather Outlook:

Isolated showers and storms are possible this afternoon and evening across much of the state, with the greatest coverage expected in the mountains and in southeastern NC. Fall begins tomorrow afternoon, but there is no sign of fall-like temperatures for the next 7 days.
