Labor Day Beach Washout

A low pressure system continues to hug the North Carolina coastline this Labor Day, overspreading rain to most of eastern North Carolina and now into southeastern Virginia. This system is expected to produce heavy rainfall tonight into Tuesday primarily east of I-95. Along Virginia's Atlantic beaches today, dangerous rip currents are occurring with the Northeast wind of 10-20mph.
Below is a forecast of rainfall accumulations through Wednesday morning. Notice the highest rain totals (up to 7") will occur near Virginia Beach and in far southeast Virginia and eastern North Carolina, closest to the track of the low pressure system. Along and east of I-95, rain totals of 1"-5" are possible.
