Historic rain has fallen across Carolina Beach, Southport, and Boiling Springs Lakes today. Multiple volunteer gauges have recorded over a foot of rain since midnight and considerable flash flooding continues to affect roads, homes, and businesses in these areas.
A few tornadoes cannot be ruled on either across eastern North Carolina through this evening. Flash flooding will be a concern, especially in the eastern Carolinas where the highest rainfall totals are forecast for tonight.
By Monday afternoon, Carolina Beach in New Hanover County, N.C, saw 18.32 inches of rainfall, while Hood Creek in Brunswick County recorded its highest water level ever at 14.11 feet during the deluge.
The storm's remnants will then spread northward into the Mid-Atlantic later Tuesday and into Wednesday, bringing a threat of flooding rains but the intensity of the rain is forecast to gradually decrease with time.
