.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
A southwest flow regime will continue this afternoon and evening
with periods of elevated winds into tonight with a thermal
gradient in place. The risk of thunderstorms is forecast to
increase starting tonight and persist through this weekend as
moisture increases ahead of a front expected to cross area waters
Saturday and stall south of the area. Another front approaches
and stalls over the area Monday, with SW'rly winds ahead of it
posing a risk for SCAs on Sunday. A low is forecast to develop on
the boundary and work north through the Carolinas early next week
before the front finally clears the area mid- week with high
pressure building in behind it.
