“Significant and potentially life
threatening flooding will continue through Sunday morning across the Tidewater
of VA and NE NC. Already a few areas have seen 10 inches of rain with
additional 2 to 5 inches possible overnight. In response to this rain, there
will be considerable river flooding in the coming days, with a few spots
possibly seeing major or even record flooding.
In addition, coastal flooding will become
moderate in Hampton Roads through NE NC. It is possible that areas south of
Virginia Beach will see Major flooding on Sunday. [Note, tide gauge for Sewell’s Point is
available in previous update, here
and in graph attached below]
Lastly, winds will remain a concern through
Sunday morning with wind gusts approaching 50-55 mph near the water. Many
reports of trees being downed by the wind already. Much weaker winds inland.”
