Today, damaging winds along with soaking rain and strong to severe thunderstorms are all possible impacts. In addition, some areas along the North Carolina coast may deal with minor coastal flooding this Thursday afternoon. A Wind Advisory is effect through the evening hours due to the likelihood of 40 mph wind gusts.

Severe Threat is a level one for damaging winds and an isolated tornado. Outside of any storm, expect windy conditions to continue for Friday with persistent gusts upwards of 35 mph. This could lead to downed tree limbs and power outages.
