The first named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season lashed eastern North Carolina with rain and gusty winds on Monday as the tropical storm made a close pass at the state's Outer Banks.
Eastern North Carolina and the Outer Banks were seeing increasing wind gusts and rain as of Monday morning as the center of Arthur passed offshore.
"We could see wind gusts, or feel wind gusts, upwards of 50 to 60 mph, and then it's going to start to make its curve," Dean said.Throughout the day on Monday, gusts to 50 mph are possible along the Outer Banks through midday with between one to three inches of rain. Isolated maximum amounts of up to five inches of rain are possible in coastal areas.
Forecasters from the NHC said very slight strengthening is possible over the next 24 hours. Arthur is then forecast to turn away from the east coast of the U.S. from Monday night into Tuesday.
