“So this is another one of those tricky things that the center and the impact zone are going to be kind of well separated,” said FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross.
The NHC has issued a Tropical Storm Warning from Cape Fear, North Carolina, to Fenwick Island, Delaware, including Albemarle and Pamlico sounds in North Carolina and the Chesapeake Bay south of Smith Point, Virginia.in the warning area within 36 hours. These winds may be accompanied by storm surge, coastal flooding and/or river flooding.
“We also have Storm Surge Watches because the Storm Surge Watch means that the water could be more than three feet above high tide. When we look at that in more detail, we see that the it’s up to three feet down there – northern South Carolina into North Carolina. Then on Cape Hatteras, there’s where the kind of the peak of this is – Cape Hatteras and then up north. So we’re talking about in Pamlico Sound and then also up into Chesapeake Bay and the southern half of Chesapeake Bay.
“People need to not get hung up on the whole ‘does this get a name?’ thing,” FOX Weather meteorologist Britta Merwin said. “Because the impact really does not change.” Forecasters said Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen could produce 2-4 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts of up to 6 inches, across eastern portions of the mid-Atlantic states from North Carolina to New Jersey.
