Governor Josh Stein and North Carolina Emergency Management Officials are encouraging all North Carolinians to be prepared as Hurricane Isaias impacts the Gulf Coast. While the hurricane is not expected to make landfall in North Carolina, there is a risk of localized flooding and gusty winds this weekend.
Governor Josh Stein and North Carolina Emergency Management Officials continue to urge caution as the Hurricane Isaias moves across North Carolina today into tomorrow. The system will continue to bring tropically enhanced rainfall, flash flooding, gusty winds, threat of isolated landslides in western North Carolina, and likely minor coastal impacts Saturday into Sunday.
State emergency management officials are preparing for the impacts from Hurricane Erin along the North Carolina coast. Since forecasts have signaled a possible impact to the Outer Banks beginning as early as Tuesday, the State Emergency Response Team has held coordination calls with state and local agencies to determine possible impacts and to respond as needed.
