...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS
MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING...

* HAZARDS...DANGEROUS SHORE BREAK...AND LONGSHORE CURRENTS...AND
  LOCALLY STRONG RIP CURRENTS.

* LOCATION...BEACHES NORTH OF CAPE HATTERAS.

* TIMING AND TIDES...THE GREATEST RIP CURRENT THREAT WILL BE 
  THROUGH MID DAY WHEN LOW TIDE OCCURS AROUND 1230 PM.

SHORE BREAK OCCURS WHEN WAVES BREAK DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH. THE
MOST COMMON INJURIES WITH STRONG SHORE BREAK ARE NECK AND BACK
INJURIES...WHICH MOST OFTEN OCCUR WHEN THE POWERFUL SURF THROWS A
SWIMMER OR SURFER HEAD FIRST INTO THE BOTTOM. IT IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR HEAD AND NECK WHENEVER YOU ARE IN
BREAKING WAVES BY KEEPING YOUR HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU AT ALL TIMES.

STRONG LONGSHORE CURRENTS CAN SWEEP SWIMMERS AND SURFERS INTO RIP
CURRENTS...PIERS...JETTIES AND OTHER HAZARDOUS AREAS. IN MANY
CASES THE LONGSHORE CURRENT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT SWIMMERS
FROM BEING ABLE TO KEEP THEIR FEET ON THE BOTTOM MAKING IT
DIFFICULT TO RETURN TO SHORE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
306 PM EDT MON SEP 16 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA AGAIN TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. A
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH ON SATURDAY AND MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 300 PM MON...LINE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
CURRENTLY PUSHING OFF THE COAST. EXPECT A DRY PERIOD BEHIND THIS
BATCH OF SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A SHRTWV WITH SOME SUBSIDENCE.
MAIN LOW LEVEL FORCING WILL COME AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH
THE AREA TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS
THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. FAVORED GFS MOS POPS WITH 20 TO 30 POPS
ACROSS THE CWA HIGHEST ALONG THE SOUTHERN COAST AND COASTAL
WATERS. EXPECT GOOD MIXING WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE
FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM MON...EXPECT STRONG CAA WITH A SURGE BEHIND THE FRONT
BRINGING STRONG GUSTY WINDS ESPECIALLY IN COASTAL AREAS. EXPECT
SOME LOW STRATUS BEHIND THE FRONT ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST IN NE
FLOW. ALTHOUGH SOME MODELS SHOWED A CHANCE OF PRECIP DURING THE
DAY FAVORED PERSISTENCE AND KEPT THE AREA DRY ON TUESDAY. EXPECT
HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM MONDAY...THE FORECAST INTO SATURDAY WILL BE DOMINATED
BY A LARGE SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WHICH WILL EXTEND SOUTH
INTO NORTH CAROLINA FROM THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. THE CENTER OF THIS
HIGH WILL MOVE OFFSHORE LATE IN THE WEEK WHICH WILL RESULT IN A
WARMING SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW REPLACING THE INITIAL COOL NORTH TO
NORTHEAST FLOW FROM EARLY TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. WRENCH IN THE
FORECAST IS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONSIDERABLE CLOUDS TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTENS WHEN THE LOW LEVEL FLOW
BECOMES EASTERLY...AND A SERIES OF WEAK LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVES
TRAVERSE THE AREA IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THE NAM/GFS/AND ECMWF
ARE DEPICTING LIGHT COASTAL QPF AMOUNTS WITH THIS ENHANCED LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE BUT GIVEN IT'S SHALLOWNESS (BELOW 800 MB) AND HOW THE DRY
MID LEVELS ARE ABOVE THIS MOIST LAYER...WILL CONTINUE TO FORECAST
DRY CONDITIONS BUT INCREASE THE CLOUD COVER FROM PREVIOUS FORECASTS.

THERE STILL REMAIN DIFFERENCES IN HANDLING THE AMPLITUDE/ORIENTATION
AND TIMING OF AN UPPER TROUGH FORECAST TO DEVELOP AS UPPER LOW
PRESSURE MIGRATES ALONG THE US/CANADIAN BORDER LATE IN THE PERIOD.
THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL AFFECT EASTERN NC FROM LATE
IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BASED ON A CONSENSUS OF THE
MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE. BASED ON THE LATEST GUIDANCE IT NOW APPEARS
THAT MOST IF NOT ALL OF SATURDAY WILL BE DRY WITH PRECIPITATION
CHANCES IN THE NEW FORECAST NOW EXTENDING FROM FROM SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...THEN WARMING BACK INTO THE MIDDLE 80S FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. TIMING OF FRONT AND PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE AN AFFECT ON
THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH HIGHS STILL POSSIBLY
REACHING THE MIDDLE 80S SUNDAY THEN INTO THE LOWER 80S MONDAY AS WE
THINK THE COLD FRONT SHOULD BE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1 PM MON...BKN LINE OF SHOWERS WITH ISO THUNDER CONTINUES TO
MOVE EAST THROUGH E NC EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS PRECIP WILL
TRANSLATE OFF THE COAST IN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO BEFORE A BREAK IN
THE SHOWERS OCCURS THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING BRINGING ANOTHER
ROUND OF SCT SHOWERS WITH OCNL THUNDER. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT SW
TODAY THEN SWITCH ABRUPTLY N BEHIND THE FRONT AND INC IN SPEED TO
UP TO 10 KNOTS OVERNIGHT.THE WINDS WILL KEEP THE BOUNDARY LAYER
MIXED AND INHIBIT FOG DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT. WINDS BECOME NE AND
GUSTY BY AFTERNOON WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM MONDAY...PREDOMINATELY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
THROUGH THE PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA. EXCEPTION
IS THE PERIOD FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WHEN ENHANCED LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD CLOUDS WITH BASES POTENTIALLY
IN THE HIGH END MVFR RANGE AT TIMES.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

GOOD SURGE OF CAA BEGINNING IN EARNEST AFTER 06Z. FAVORED THE
STRONGER NAM AND A BLEND OF PREVIOUS FORECAST WINDS FOR THE

KT ACROSS MOST OF THE WATERS BY MORNING AND THESE STRONG WINDS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY ON TUESDAY. FAVORED LOCAL NWPS FOR
WAVES WHICH WAS A BIT HIGHER THAN WW3 GIVEN THE STRONGER WIND
FORECAST. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 5 TO 8 FEET BY MORNING AND REMAIN
HIGH THROUGH THE DAY ON TUESDAY.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND OVER THE WATERS
THROUGH SATURDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL BE ONGOING
