through Thursday night. Tropical storm conditions are expected
within the tropical storm warning area in North Carolina beginning
early Wednesday. Tropical Storm conditions are possible within the
Tropical Storm Watch area in North Carolina beginning Wednesday.
STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause
normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters
moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
Savannah River, GA to Cape Fear, NC...2-4 ft

eastern half of South Carolina, and southeast North Carolina through
Friday.
From northern North Carolina through portions of the Mid-Atlantic
States, 4 to 8 inches of rainfall, with local amounts to 12 inches,
are expected through Sunday morning. This rainfall will likely
result in areas of considerable flash and urban flooding, with river
flooding possible.
An additional scattered 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, with maximum
amounts of 4 inches is possible across western portion of the
Central Florida Peninsula and southeast Georgia today which may
aggravate any ongoing flooding conditions across that vicinity.
