DISCREET CELLS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS OBSERVED ON MHX RADAR
INDICATING ROTATION...AND WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CAREFULLY THIS
EVENING AS THEY MOVE EASTWARD TOWARDS THE OUTER BANKS. SPC
MESOANALYIS INDICATING SIGNIFICANT 0-1KM SHEAR...AND WITH VERY LOW
LCL VALS...LOW LEVEL HELICITY MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A
TORNADO THREAT.

SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS HAVE REACHED THE COASTAL
WATERS...AS OUTER ONSLOW BUOY IS REPORTING 38 KT AND CAPE LOOKOUT
AT 35KT. WINDS STILL SUB TROPICAL STORM FORCE STRENGTH OVER
LAND...THOUGH WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING

HURRICANE WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR THE ENTIRE CWA. PLEASE CONTINUE

&&

ALREADY BEEN IMPACTING THE SOUTHERN COASTAL WATERS WITH 15 SECOND
SEAS OF 11-13 FT. SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVERNIGHT ABOVE 20
FT WITH EVEN HIGHER SWELLS FARTHER FROM SHORE. WINDS ARE CURRENTLY
JUST BELOW TROPICAL STORM FORCE. FRYING PAN SHOALS BUOY...OFF
CAPE FEAR AND UPSTREAM OF OUR COASTAL ZONES...HAS SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 35 KNOTS AND SEAS OF 18 FT. THESE CONDITIONS WILL PUSH NORTH
INTO OUR MARINE ZONES OVER THE NEXT 6 TO 8 HOURS.

HURRICANE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED EARLY SATURDAY MORNING LASTING
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM FRIDAY...HURRICANE IRENE WILL MOVE AWAY TO THE
NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT. HURRICANE FORCE WINDS WILL BE LIKELY
OVER THE SOUNDS AND NORTHERN WATERS THRU LATE SATURDAY NIGHT.
AFTER THE HURRICANE MOVES AWAY SUNDAY MORNING...IT WILL DRAG
A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION BY SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING TO THE NORTH. THIS WILL PROVIDE SEVERAL DAYS OF NE FLOW.
WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY AND SEAS ROUGH ON SUNDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING
RAPIDLY SUNDAY NIGHT. RELATIVELY BENIGN MARINE CONDITIONS EXPECTED
MONDAY THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE LARGE SIZE OF IRENE IS MAKING THE FLOOD THREAT HIGHER THAN
TYPICAL WITH MOST TROPICAL SYSTEMS IMPACTING THE REGION. THE HEAVY
RAIN HAS BEGUN WORKING INTO THE REGION IN RAIN BANDS...WITH
RAINFALL RATES OF UPWARDS OF TWO INCHES PER HOUR. LATEST 18Z UPPER
AIR SOUNDING SHOWS PW OF 2.34"...NOT UNCOMMON FOR A TROPICAL
SYSTEM. HOWEVER...MODELS ARE SHOWING PW INCREASING OVERNIGHT AND
INTO SAT...WITH VALUES AROUND 3". THIS WILL SUPPORT TORRENTIAL
RAINFALL WITH RATES OVER 3" PER HOUR. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL
LIKELY OCCUR BETWEEN 6 AM AND EARLY AFTERNOON. THE AXIS OF HEAVY
RAIN WILL FALL ALONG THE STORM TRACK...WITH AMOUNTS 10-15"
POSSIBLE. ONE COUNTY EAST OR WEST OF THE TRACK WILL LIKELY SHAVE
ONE TO TWO INCHES OFF THE STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS...SO THE
COASTAL PLAINS COULD SEE 4 TO 6 INCHES. GIVEN ANTECEDENT DRY
CONDITIONS WE EXPECT 4 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN BEFORE FLOODING
BECOMES MORE THAN NUISANCE. GIVEN THE FORECAST FOR 8-15" ACROSS
MOST OF THE AREA...THERE IS A HIGH LIKELIHOOD THAT THE MAJORITY OF
THE CWA WILL BE UNDER A FLOOD WARNING DURING THIS EVENT.

RIVER AND STREAM FLOODING...MOST WATERWAYS HAVE BEEN RUNNING LOW
TO VERY LOW LEVELS DUE TO THE ONGOING DROUGHT. THIS WILL AID IN
LIMITING THE EXTENT OF RIVER FLOODING...THOUGH ANY BASIN OBSERVING
RAINFALL OVER 8 INCHES WILL LIKELY FLOOD. ADDING TO THE FLOOD
THREAT IS THE STORM SURGE ALONG THE SOUNDS...WHICH WILL BACKUP THE
FRESHWATER FLOW ALONG THE NEUSE/PAMLICO RIVERS AND TRIBUTARIES.
THIS WILL INCREASE THE FRESHWATER INLAND FLOODING RISK NEAR THE
SOUNDS.
