Keep in mind, the beaches of Brunswick County are south facing beaches, and with the models trending west, Arthur could make a pit stop on his way to the Outer Banks.
A hit that far south and west would bring it inland into NC and not exiting until south of Virginia Beach. No model is showing that solution and the euro, though it's shifted west, has a left bias and is still just barely offshore. Now Beaufort, in my opinion, does need to keep a close watch on this one because a landfall there seems like at least an outside possibility.

This model shows it pretty clearly. Those are the Brunswick County beaches on the north side of the storm with Bald Head Island Just east of 78W.
