Included Hurricane Threat Impact Graphics information

In Pfaff’s overview he states:

Life-threatening storm surge is likely along portions of the coast. A Storm
Surge Warning is in effect.

Damaging hurricane force winds are likely along portions of the coast as well.
Strong winds could also spread well inland. A Hurricane Warning is now in
effect.

The potential for life-threatening flooding impacts continues to increase,
especially across a large swath of NC since the storm is expected to slow
down as it approaches the coast and moves inland. A Flash Flood Watch will
likely be required.

Increase the pace of preparations for the potential of a land-falling
major hurricane. Follow any advice given by local officials.
