Raleigh, NC – North Carolina residents should brace for the effects of a second hurricane, likely to form in the coming days, after Hurricane Kirk remains offshore. The US National Weather Service has issued a tropical outlook that warns of increasing weather activity later this week, with a strong chance of a new system developing east of the current storm.
According to the National Weather Service, the new storm could intensify and approach the East Coast by the weekend, though its exact track remains uncertain. Residents, particularly along coastal areas like Newport and Morehead City, should monitor forecasts closely as conditions may worsen. Officials advise staying prepared, as this new system could bring hazardous weather to the region.
Though drier weather is forecast through Sunday, the potential hurricane could cause dangerous conditions. Coastal areas should remain cautious, as heightened risks associated with the current hurricane, including rip currents, are expected to persist into next week. Beaches near Newport, especially along Highway 24, could see increased dangers for swimmers. Stay updated on local advisories and avoid water activities in potentially dangerous conditions.
