NWS Marine Forecast


   AMZ100-090815-  303 PM EDT Thu Oct 8 2026    .Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...  High pressure will shift east of the area this weekend as the  remnants of Isaias move north through the Gulf Coast States. The  gradient between these two systems will lead to a period of  moderate to strong southerly winds this weekend, with gale-force  winds possible for some waters. This will lead to elevated seas as  well. The stronger winds will also be accompanied by an increased  risk of thunderstorms. Southwest to west winds develop early next  week in the wake of the weekend winds and elevated seas.    $$
