Cape Hatteras National Seashore expects to experience major to moderate oceanside flooding, ocean overwash on some beaches and roads, soundside flooding, gusty winds and dangerous rip currents today through Wednesday.
A Coastal Flood Warning issued by the National Weather Service forecasts 2 to 4 feet of oceanside inundation and 2 to 3 feet of soundside inundation for some areas.
Ocean overwash is expected around high tides.
Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet are expected in the surf zone and officials say visitors should remain out of the water because of the dangerous surf conditions.
