.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
High pressure will rebuild offshore while weak troughing
continues across the Eastern Seaboard for the next few days,
but warm moist southerly flow will lead to unsettled conditions.
Drier but hotter conditions briefly expected Wednesday, before
an approaching strong frontal system brings unsettled weather
back to the area Thursday and Friday and potentially into the
beginning of next weekend.
