OUTER BANKS, N.C. (WITN) - All lanes of NC 12 are closed on Ocracoke Island between the Northern Ferry Terminal and the National Park Service Pony Pens. Also, all lanes of NC 12 are closed on Hatteras Island from the Marc Basnight Bridge to Hatteras Village.

NCDOT officials said "given the winds, wave heights and storm surge forecast, it likely won't be enough" to keep NC 12 from flooding at the Outer Banks.

A storm surge warning was issued by the NWS Newport/Morehead City NC on Tuesday at 1:09 p.m. for Hatteras Island.
