.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
Hazardous marine conditions will persist across the waters into
Thursday as a mix of small crafts and gales are currently noted
across the area out ahead of an approaching cold front. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms are forecast along and just south of the
aforementioned frontal boundary as well. Gales are currently
relegated to the far outer coastal waters 20+ NM north of Ocracoke
Inlet. These hazardous conditions will remain in place until the
previously mentioned front stalls across the region on Thurs. Once
front stalls, expect N-NEerly winds N of the boundary, S-SW S of
the boundary. But boating conditions do improve through the
weekend.
