.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
The window for good boating conditions is rapidly coming to an
end, as nerly winds will be strengthening later today and tonight
with building seas, eventually leading into gale force winds on
Wednesday through as late as Friday evening as a sprawling large
low pressure system meanders off the Mid Atlantic coast mid
through late week. Very dangerous seas of 10-18 feet are expected
in conjunction with the gales.
