.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
A front will push into the waters late tonight and Sunday, then
is forecast to stall over the area into early next week with an
area of low pressure moves along it on Sunday into Monday. This
is expected to lead to building east to northeast winds north of
front and lighter south to southeasterly flow south of the front.
A more dominant southwesterly flow regime then returns by mid to
late week.
