As the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2014 season, Arthur will bring heavy rain, rough surf, high winds and rip currents to areas along the Atlantic coast of the United States.
At 11:15 p.m. EDT Thursday, Arthur made landfall over the Shackleford Banks which it located between Cape Lookout and Beaufort, North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane.
With a projected northeasterly path, Arthur's greatest impacts will come Thursday night into Friday, canceling fireworks shows and impeding July Fourth celebration plans for thousands.

The worst of Arthur's wrath will slam the Carolinas, before moving up the coast, reaching southern Massachusetts by Friday.
"The main impact will be northward-expanding rough surf with strong rip currents from the Florida east coast to New Jersey, Long Island and southeastern New England," AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski said.
