Final rainfall amounts of two to four inches will be likely across eastern North Carolina, with some isolated higher totals.

Local impacts for much of our viewing will just be an increased chance of some showers and thunderstorms Monday, especially south and east of Richmond.  The rain will be scattered, so it will not affect everyone.  Closer to Virginia Beach, winds will gust over 20 mph and over 0.50″ of rain may fall.   Wave heights will be in the 3 to 6 foot range through Tuesday morning, along with the risk of rip currents.
