Hampton Roads and eastern North Carolina are still under a coastal flood advisory as remnants of Potential Tropical Storm 8 move over the region.
Meteorologists expect between 1-2 inches of rain over the course of the day, but some areas could receive up to 4 inches, according to the National Weather Service in Wakefield. A flood watch for flash flooding is in effect for Virginia cities east of Interstate 95. Urban and poorly drained areas are also expected to flood.
Low pressure near the North Carolina and South Carolina border will bring “unsettled” weather to the region today, Wakefield meteorologists reported.
