Tropical Storm Arthur was the first named storm of the 2020 Hurricane season. Arthur is the first storm that has impacted Eastern North Carolina in May since Tropical Storm Anna in May 2015. Arthur also makes May 2020 the 6th straight May that a named storm has formed.
The main impacts from Arthur were rip currents and heavy rainfall. Prior to Arthur's approach to our coast on Monday May 18th, swell ahead of Arthur produced a high risk for rip currents both Saturday and Sunday. The weather was especially nice Saturday, with plenty of sun and warm weather. This combination of nice ambient weather and dangerous swells from Arthur led to numerous rescues along the coast.
The heaviest rain fell across the southern coast where as much as 3" to 5" of rain fell. Heavy rain spread northeast with 1" to 3" from near Swanquarter and Columbia, eastward across the Outer Banks. The western edge of Arthur saw a dramatic drop off in rainfall totals with less than a half of an inch west of Kinston, Washington and Plymouth.
Wind gusts were primarily confined to the immediate coastline and especially from near the mouth of the Neuse River eastward across the Outer Banks. Wind gusts over land ranged from 30 to 45 MPH along the coast. The highest gusts over water occurred at Diamond Shoals buoy and was measured at 49 MPH.

Arthur was a good example of how impacts from any tropical cyclone can extend beyond just winds. Dangerous rip currents ahead, during, and after Arthur's arrival was one of our bigger impacts from this storm. In addition, heavy rainfall produced some ponding of water on local roads, especially in lower spots where drainage was an issue before. Although the rain came down hard at times, it was welcome as the area had been in a recent dry spell of over 10 days.

Wind Speed/Air Pressure At Diamond Shoals Buoy
The graph below shows buoy 41025 (Diamond Shoals), which is 18 miles to the southeast of Cape Hatteras light house. The buoy measured a peak wind gust of 49 MPH (43 knots), which is shown in the red trace below. Notice this peak gust was just before when the lowest pressure was measured (green trace), as the center of Tropical Storm Arthur passed very near this buoy on the morning of Tuesday May 19th, 2020.
