.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
Return flow sets up through midweek across ENC as high pressure
ridge gradually slides offshore. This will bring very warm
temperatures and generally dry conditions to ENC through
Wednesday. Cold front tracks across the region late
Wednesday with showers and breezy conditions. High pressure
builds to the north behind the stalled cold front to end the
work week, while low pressure develops offshore and will continue
the hazardous marine conditions through the weekend.
