NORTH CAROLINA, USA — Though we aren't expecting rain and wind, Ernesto could be a rip current generator for the coastline.
A strong swell from the hurricane combined with a higher-than-normal tide, and potentially nice beach weather, may take some for a dangerous combination at many NC beaches.
A high risk of rip currents is likely especially for some of the beaches.
If you plan to visit the beach, pay attention to the flags and attend a lifeguarded beach if possible. Remember, red flags mean don't go in the water.
