Here is the readout from NHC the national hurricane center
ARTHUR BRINGING HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS TO PORTIONS OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA...
A Tropical Storm Warning continues from Surf City to Duck, North Carolina, including Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area today.
At 8 a.m. EDT, the center of Tropical Storm Arthur was located about 50 miles (85 km) east-southeast of Morehead City, North Carolina. It's moving toward the north-northeast near 15 mph (24 km/h). On the forecast track, the center will approach the coast of North Carolina during the next few hours, and then move near or just east of the coast of North Carolina later today. Arthur is then forecast to turn away from the east coast of the United States tonight and Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) mainly to the east of the center. NOAA buoy 41025 located about 20 miles (30 km) south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, has recently reported a wind gust to 43 mph (69 km/h). While some strengthening is forecast to occur during the next 48 hours, Arthur is likely to lose its tropical characteristics on Tuesday.
Arthur is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 1 to 3 inches over coastal North Carolina through this afternoon, with isolated maximum amounts of 5 inches. Swells generated by Arthur are affecting portions of the southeast U.S. coast and are expected to spread northward along the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast during the next day or two. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office - www.weather.gov.
The next complete advisory will be issued by NHC at 11 a.m. EDT - www.hurricanes.gov
