JETTIES AND PIERS. HEED THE ADVICE OF LIFEGUARDS AND THE BEACH

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.

FORCE OF THE RIP CURRENT...BEGIN TO SWIM BACK TO THE BEACH. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO SWIM DIRECTLY AGAINST A RIP CURRENT...SINCE IT CAN
EXHAUST AND EVEN KILL THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.

SHORE BREAK OCCURS WHEN WAVES BREAK DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH. THE

SANDBAR AND IN THE VICINITY OF STRUCTURES SUCH AS GROINS...
JETTIES AND PIERS. HEED THE ADVICE OF LIFEGUARDS AND THE BEACH
PATROL. PAY ATTENTION TO FLAGS AND POSTED SIGNS POSTED NEAR BEACH
ACCESS POINTS AND LIFEGUARD STATIONS.

IF YOU BECOME CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...DO NOT PANIC. REMAIN CALM
AND BEGIN TO SWIM PARALLEL TO SHORE. ONCE YOU ARE AWAY FROM THE
FORCE OF THE RIP CURRENT...BEGIN TO SWIM BACK TO THE BEACH. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO SWIM DIRECTLY AGAINST A RIP CURRENT...SINCE IT CAN
EXHAUST AND EVEN KILL THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.

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
727 AM EDT SUN AUG 24 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION TODAY AND LINGER THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
AS OF 700 AM SUNDAY...WITH SUFFICIENT DRY AIR MOVING IN CLOUDS HAVE
STARTED TO ERODE QUICKER THAN PREVIOUS THINKING. SO ANTICIAPTE
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AHEAD OF SCU
DEVELOPMENT DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMP TRENDS LOOK GOOD. DEW POINT
TEMPS A DEGREE OR TWO BELOW FORECAST AS THE DRY AIR RUSHES IN.
HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS FOR THIS AS WELL. GIVEN THE DRY
AIR...TRIMMED SCHC BACK TO ALONG THE COAST AND VERY SOUTHERN AREAS
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...WITH HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED IN THE NORTHEAST
BUILDING SOUTH AND A TROPICAL STORM NW OF PUERTO RICO...THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION WILL CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN. GIVEN
THIS...ANTICIPATE GUSTY NE FLOW TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE DAY. ANY
LINGERING LOW LEVEL CLOUDS THIS MORNING WILL ERODE WITH SCU
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SHOWER ACTIVITY (SCHC AT BEST)
WILL MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY AS MID LEVEL ENERGY EXITS THE
REGION. DRIER AIR MOVING IN UNDER NE FLOW WILL MAKE FOR PLEASANT
TEMPS CLIMBING INTO THE LOW 80S AREA-WIDE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE
REGION WITH A TIGHT GRADIENT BETWEEN THE HIGH TO THE NORTH AND
DEPRESSION WELL TO OUR SOUTH. THIS WILL KEEP THE LOW LEVELS
MIXED WITH NE FLOW. ANY SCU SHOULD ERODE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS
LEAVING SCT CIRRUS. SCHC SHOWERS STILL LINGERING ALONG THE COAST
AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY RIDES THE TROUGH OFFSHORE. LOW TEMPS WILL BE
COOLER...IN THE LOW 60S INLAND TO LOW 70S ALONG THE BEACHES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 350 AM SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NEW
ENGLAND STATES WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SOUTH OVER EASTERN NC MONDAY
AND TUESDAY. AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL SPREAD
EAST OVER EASTERN NC MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. KEPT POPS LIMITED TO THE
OFFSHORE WATERS MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS SEA-SURFACE TEMPS REMAIN
VERY WARM  AND ISOLATED CONVECTION COULD OCCUR. TROPICAL DEPRESSION
4 IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL STORM AND EVENTUALLY A
HURRICANE WELL OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. COAST BY WEDNESDAY...THOUGH
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS WITH REGARD TO EXACT
TRACK AND INTENSITY OF CURRENTLY DEVELOPING TD 4. FOR NOW...GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS A RIGHT CURVE TRACK FOR TD 4 THAT WOULD MEAN EASTERN NC
REMAINS IN A MOSTLY SUBSIDENCE-DOMINATED REGIME WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY. USED AN OVERALL COMPROMISE AMONG 00Z OPERATIONAL
GUIDANCE...WPC AND PREVIOUS FORECAST...THOUGH MUCH DEPENDS ON
THE DEVELOPMENT/LOCATION OF TD 4 KEEPING CONFIDENCE LOW FOR THE
MIDDLE TO END OF THIS WEEK. 00Z GFS KEEPS THE REGION MOSTLY DRY FRY
WHILE THE 00Z ECMWF PUSHES A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT THROUGH EASTERN NC.
WILL HEDGE CLOSER TO THE ECMWF AND INCLUDE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. POPS INCREASE TO CHANCE SATURDAY AS A FRONT APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST.

TEMPS WILL BE BELOW CLIMATOLOGY FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH
HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S UNDER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW...THEN MODERATE
BACK NEAR NORMAL THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 80S

&&

SHORT TERM /THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/...
AS OF 700 AM SUNDAY...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. GUSTY NE FLOW WILL DEVELOP
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. EXPECT SCU FORMATION BY AFTERNOON WITH SCHC
POPS ACROSS THE COAST AND ALONG THE COAST. CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH AFTER
SUNSET ALONG WITH THE NE FLOW. ALTHOUGH CLEAR SKIES ARE
ANTICIPATED...AMPLE MIXING OVERNIGHT WILL KEEP FOG LIMITED.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 355 AM SUNDAY...PREDOMINANT VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH
THE LONG TERM AVIATION FORECAST. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID-
ATLANTIC AND NEW ENGLAND STATES WILL BUILD DOWN THE EAST COAST
MONDAY AND REMAIN THE MAIN FEATURE THROUGH MID WEEK...RESULTING IN
NE WINDS 5-10 MPH AND A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIRMASS. CONFIDENCE REMAINS
LOW AT WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND DUE TO UNCERTAINTY WITH EXACT TRACK
AND INTENSITY OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION 4 THAT COULD IMPACT COASTAL
SECTIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 700 AM SUNDAY...NO CHANGES NEEDED DURING THIS UPDATE. SURGE
MOVING QUICKLY SOUTHWARD AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
CAROLINAS. SHOWERS ALONG THE COASTAL WATERS SOUTH OF CAPE
HATTERAS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY...ERODING
OVER TIME. WINDS ARE INCREASING...15-25KTS ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS WITH 6 FT SEAS ACROSS THE NORTHERN WATERS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND A
DEPRESSION WELL TO OUR SOUTH...PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION
HAS BEGUN TO TIGHTEN. GIVEN THIS...STRONG NE SURGE HAS INCREASED
TO 15-20KTS ACROSS THE WATERS NORTH OF HATTERAS INCLUDING THE

2-4 FT SOUTH OF CAPE HATTERAS. THE NORTHEAST PRESSURE GRADIENT
SLOWLY DIMINISHES LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUES...AND MAY SEE SEAS FALL
BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS BY TUES AFTERNOON OR TUES NIGHT. CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW AT WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND DUE TO UNCERTAINTY WITH EXACT
TRACK AND INTENSITY OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION 4 THAT COULD IMPACT
COASTAL SECTIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. OFFICIAL NATIONAL
HURRICANE CENTER FORECAST TAKES TD 4 WELL OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.
COAST TUESDAY AS A TROPICAL STORM AND EVENTUALLY INTO A HURRICANE BY
WEDNESDAY. SHOULD TD 4 INTENSIFY AND NEAR THE COAST AS
FORECAST...ROUGH SURF CONDITIONS INCLUDING INCREASED RIP CURRENT
RISK...COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS LATE TUESDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH
