... Beach hazards statement remains in effect through this evening...
* hazards... high rip current risk and dangerous shore break.
* Location... along the beaches north of Cape Lookout.
* Timing and tides... the most likely time for life threatening rip currents will be a couple of hours either side of low tide. Low tide will occur around 245 PM this afternoon.
* Potential impacts... dangerous rip currents combined with rough surf of 4 to 6 feet.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore... which occur most often at low spots or breaks in The Sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins... jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards and the beach patrol. Pay attention to flags and posted signs posted near beach access points and lifeguard stations.
If you become caught in a rip current... do not panic. Remain calm and begin to swim parallel to shore. Once you are away from the force of the rip current... begin to swim back to the beach. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current... since it can exhaust and even kill the strongest swimmer.
Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. The most common injuries with strong shore break are neck and back injuries... which most often occur when the powerful surf throws a swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom. It is extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at all times.

... Locally dense fog will affect the morning commute across eastern North Carolina this morning...
Patchy dense fog was occurring across eastern North Carolina early this morning. Visibilities have locally dropped to 1/4 of mile in spots and this will make driving to work or school hazardous this morning.
Motorists are advised to leave extra time to arrive at their destinations. Also leave plenty of distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you and use only low beam headlights.
