An area of low pressure off the South Carolina coastline on September 13th, gradually strengthened along an old stalled front. With little wind shear and over favorable warm waters near the Gulf Stream, the low pressure system gradually gained strength and was designated as a Potential Tropical Cyclone #8 at 5 PM on September 15th, 2024. A few years ago the National Hurricane Center began to issue Potential Tropical Cyclone advisories for areas of low pressure that were not classified as tropical storms yet, but could pose a threat to land within 48 hours. A tropical storm warning was issued at 5 PM on the 15th from Surf City up through Ocacoke Inlet, including coastal areas of Onslow and Carteret Counties.
PTC #8 never became truly tropical therefore it maintained the status of Potential Tropical Cyclone #8 through 5 PM on the 16th. Despite this, impacts included widespread heavy rainfall, significant flash flooding, coastal flooding, a tornado and some breezy conditions. This is a reminder that even non tropical systems or storms without names or a category rating can produce significant impacts on our area. ALWAYS focus on the impacts of the storm, not just if it has a name or category rating!

Coastal Flooding

In addition to flooding from heavy rain, a persistent easterly flow along with an increasing higher than normal tide combined with PTC#8, all helped produced coastal flooding along the Crystal Coast and over the Outer Banks. Atlantic Beach, NC. September 16th, 2024. Credit Alex Fisher. |

Good evening. NC12 remains open and passable, but we did have a few minor overwash issues with the high tide north of Buxton and on north end of Ocracoke Island (pictured). Our crews are working to clear, but if you're out tonight please SLOW DOWN and drive with extreme caution. pic.twitter.com/VnXGYrYLRz

Good morning! NC12 remains open and passable, with standing water and blown sand on the roadway in several areas, specifically near the Pea Island Visitor Center, north of Buxton, north of Hatteras and on Ocracoke. Please SLOW DOWN and give our crews room to work. pic.twitter.com/dqD1Co46nl

Good morning. NC12 on the north end of Ocracoke Island (pictured) remains CLOSED at this hour, with a dune that has been breached and deep water on the roadway. Elsewhere, NC12 remains open and passable with water and sand on the road in several areas. Drive with extreme caution. pic.twitter.com/TQw4R1e0pH

Due to heavy rains and continued ocean overwash, we will NOT be reopening NC12 on the north end of Ocracoke Island today. The water is extremely deep and conditions are unsafe for driving. NCDOT crews will re-evaluate conditions after Wednesday morning's high tide. pic.twitter.com/oda7iVKoMR

NC12 remains CLOSED on the north end of Ocracoke Island. While this morning's high tide was not as bad as previous ones, there still remains about a mile of deep ponded water that makes it unsafe for traffic.

Elsewhere, NC12 is open and passable with water and sand in spots. pic.twitter.com/peu6XC36R0
