SUNDAY EVENING...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IS CANCELLED...
The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a Beach
Hazards Statement, which is in effect from 6 AM EDT Sunday through
Sunday evening. The Beach Hazards Statement for this evening has
been cancelled.
Southwesterly winds between 10 and 15 knots with higher gusts will
create a strong south to north longshore current for the east facing
beaches of Horry, New Hanover, Pender counties on Sunday.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip currents,
piers, jetties, and other hazardous areas. Often, if the longshore
current is strong enough, it will sweep swimmers off their feet,
making it difficult to return to shore. Caution should be used when
in or near the water. Check with the lifeguards before entering the
ocean for possible hazards.

UNTIL 915 PM EDT...
At 808 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking an area of showers and
strong thunderstorms along a line extending from 6 miles south of
Siler City to near Ansonville. Movement was east at 25 mph.
Wind gusts up to 40 mph will be possible with these storms.
Heavy rain and minor flooding and deadly cloud to ground lightning
will also be possible with these storms.
Locations impacted include...
Sanford, Southern Pines, Troy, Carthage, Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Biscoe,
Ansonville, Hoffman and Goldston.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Seek shelter in a nearby building or vehicle. Wind gusts as high as
40 mph are capable of knocking down tree limbs and blowing around
trash cans, potted plants, lawn furniture and other light outdoor
objects.
Locally heavy rain will quickly reduce visibility and result in
ponding of water on roadways, standing water in low lying areas, and
minor flooding of creeks, streams, and areas of poor drainage.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use extra caution to avoid
hydroplaning, especially in urban areas where prolonged heavy rain
can quickly lead to flooding.
Frequent cloud to ground lightning is occurring with these storms.
Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. Seek a safe
shelter inside a building or vehicle.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northeast Georgia, piedmont
North Carolina, western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue into
the evening. A few thunderstorms could become strong enough to
produce damaging wind gusts and small hail, especially over the
Piedmont. In addition, brief heavy rainfall will accompany all
thunderstorms. Some areas may receive a prolonged period of heavy
rainfall due to slower-moving or training thunderstorms which could
result in isolated flooding of low-lying or poor-drainage areas and
small streams.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.
On Sunday, scattered to numerous thunderstorms will develop once
again across the area and produce high rainfall rates that could lead
to isolated urban, low-lying, and small-stream flooding. The flooding
threat will be highest in and near the mountains.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters are requested to forward any reports of large hail,
damaging winds, tornadoes, or flash flooding to our office.
