NWS Marine Forecast


   AMZ100-091945-  232 AM EDT Fri Oct 9 2026    .Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...  High pressure will shift east of the area this weekend as the  remnants of Isaias move north through the Gulf Coast States. The  gradient between these two systems will lead to a period of  moderate to strong southerly winds this weekend, with gale-force  winds possible for primarily outer waters. This will lead to  elevated seas as well. The stronger winds will also be accompanied  by an increased risk of thunderstorms. Southwest to west winds  develop early next week in the wake of the weekend winds and  elevated seas.    Gale Watches are in effect for all waters beyond 20 nm and all of  Onslow Bay Saturday into Sunday night.    $$
