GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - It’s going to be a rainy and wet start to your 3-day weekend and it may limit how you celebrate the unofficial start of summer.

There’s a Coastal Flooding Advisory for East Carteret and Beaufort counties along with the Pamlico, Pungo Rivers and adjacent tidal creeks through 10 a.m. on Sunday. There’s also a Coastal Flooding Warning in effect for Pamlico and Southern Craven counties as well as areas along the Pamlico Sound, Trent, Bay and lower Neuse Rivers, and adjacent tidal creeks through Sunday at 2 a.m.

Heavier rain moves in Saturday late afternoon into the evening. Showers and downpours could linger into Sunday morning before things try to dry out the rest of the day.
