FAST-MOVING DRY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TODAY
USHERING IN SOME VERY CHILLY AIR FOR TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT JUST BEHIND THE FRONT WITH STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL CREATE WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS ALONG THE OUTER BANKS
OVERNIGHT SO POSTED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE OUTER BANKS PORTIONS OF
DARE AND HYDE COUNTIES. THE COLD AIRMASS WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS THE
UPPER FLOW BECOMES ZONAL...WHILE AT THE SURFACE WINDS BACK TO WEST
