.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
Pressure gradient remains pinched early today as high pressure
builds in from the north. However, the winds will gradually relax
through the day as the high center nears, and then slowly drifts
offshore tonight and Saturday. Another cold front will cross area
waters Sunday with swell from storms well out in the Atlantic
arriving early next week, increasing likelihood of more SCAs.
