.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
Inland troughing is expected to remain in place east of the
Appalachians through this weekend. This will lead to a southerly
flow regime for an extended period of time. Elevated winds and
seas are likely over the weekend into early next week as inland
troughing deepens. The risk of thunderstorms is expected to be low
through Friday, then increase from Saturday into next week.
