A big noreaster possible!

The set up Wednesday through Friday looks very ugly! A strong high pressure to the north of the area pumping in strong winds…and then add onto that the remnants of Ida stalling out east of the Georgia coast…pumping in wind as well. It’s a perfect set up for a rather large, long noreaster for the local area. Winds of 20-30 inland…30-40 in the metro and 40-50 on the coast and down on the Outer Banks. Not a big deal if it lasted 10 or 12 hours…some minor tidal flooding and rain. Not this time! This pattern stalls out bring these terrible conditions for 72 hours…leading to more significant coastal flooding and possibly some homes perched too close to the ocean on the Outer Banks to fall in! This is is going to have to be watched…very carefully…

Not to mention that another storm is trying to form in the carribean that could interact with the noreaster, and that could be REALLY ugly.
As we all know noeasters can be worse that hurricanes around here!
What type of coastal flooding are we looking at? 1-3, 3-5??
Perfect. I had golf scheduled for Vet’s Day. Hope we see this pattern in February with high in the low 30’s.
OBX ocean water to the Bypass 158 ? Hope not !!!
