All I am saying y’all we dodged a bullet when it comes to the heavy rainfall, the core of the heavy rain will stay over the ocean from Erin. Given how wet it’s been around here, if that was about 200 miles west, we’d be looking at 6-12 inches of rain in 24 hours. I don’t even want to begin to think about the catastrophic inland freshwater flooding that would happen. A couple of outer bands could impact Eastern/ Coastal NC through Thursday night, but nothing too much in the way of rain.

The main impacts are from the ocean and some gusty winds, but even the winds don’t look bad. 40-55MPH gusts mainly along the Outer Banks, with everyone else having much lower gusts. 20-35MPH.
