* COASTAL FLOODING...WATER LEVELS AROUND 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL FOR
  AREAS ADJACENT TO PAMLICO SOUND. WATER LEVELS WILL REMAIN
  ELEVATED ON THE SOUND THROUGH TODAY DUE TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF

  TIDES COMBINED WITH EASTERLY SWELL MAY ALSO RESULT IN MINOR
  COASTAL FLOODING.

* TIMING AND TIDES...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING EXPECTED THROUGH THIS
  EVENING. THE RIP CURRENT RISK IS GREATEST A COUPLE OF HOURS
  EITHER SIDE OF LOW TIDE...WHICH WILL BE AROUND 6 PM THIS

* IMPACTS...HIGH WATER WILL FLOOD ROADS AND MAY IMPACT SOME 
  PROPERTIES...ESPECIALLY LOW LYING AREAS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

IF CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT REMAIN CALM. DON'T FIGHT THE CURRENT.
SWIM IN A DIRECTION FOLLOWING THE SHORELINE. WHEN OUT OF THE
CURRENT... SWIM BACK TO SHORE. IF TIRED... FLOAT OR TREAD WATER
UNTIL OUT OF THE RIP CURRENT. IF UNABLE TO ESCAPE...FACE THE

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
658 PM EDT Wed Oct 19 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will continue to extend into the area from the
western Atlantic through Thursday. A cold front with limited
moisture will move through from the west late Friday. Strong high
pressure will build in from the west over the weekend. A dry cold
front will cross the region Monday night followed by high pressure
next Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
As of 7 pm Wednesday...Fair weather conditions again this evening
then some patchy fog expected late tonight with lighter winds than
last night/this morning. Better radiational cooling conditions
will allow temps to drop to near 60 inland with mid-upper 60s
coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
As of 330 PM Wednesday...Surface and upper ridge will be squeezed
on Thursday as systems approach from west and southeast. Dry
conditions expected to persist but may see a bit more cloud cover
with easterly winds on coast along with temps a couple of degrees
cooler with highs around 80 coast and 82-85 inland.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 330 PM Wednesday...Based on model consensus, updated late
Thu night through Fri night period for POPs/Wx. Most of moisture
with vigorous short wave moving through from west will be wrung
out coming over mountains, but enough support to keep 30-40% POPs
over area Fri afternoon and NE sections Fri evening. Added slight
chc mention for Tstms as well Fri afternoon with LIs -1 to -2 and
SPC indicating general thunder outlook. No significant changes
rest of period.

/Previous discussion/
As of 315 AM Wednesday...Quiet, dry and warm weather expected
through Thu night as high pressure offshore extends into the area.
There will be a small chance of light rain showers Friday/Friday
evening as a strong and progressive long wave upper trough and
it's associated surface cold front approaches from the west and
moves through the area Friday night. The front will have limited
moisture thus any precipitation amounts that occur should be very
light mainly a tenth of an inch or less most areas. Another dry
and cool high pressure system is expected to build back over the
area during the weekend followed by the passage of a dry cold
front Monday evening followed by a reinforcing shot of cool/dry
air Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday night...Dry and warm high pressure will continue over
the area into Thursday with very warm temperatures expected across
Eastern NC. Highs Thursday should be a couple of degrees cooler
than Wed (upper 70s/lower 80s) as flow becomes more onshore.

Friday and Friday night...Rain chances will be increasing slightly
this period as the aforementioned strong upper trough/surface
cold front move through the region Friday night. Still looks like
most of the moisture with this system will get wrung out west of
the mountains while a developing Tropical/Sub Tropical low
pressure system moving north from vicinity of the Bahamas well off
of the NC coast should intercept moisture inflow into the front
and also limit precipitation amounts. Highs will still be mild Fri
ahead of system with lower to middle 70s.

Saturday through Wednesday...High pressure building into the area
from the west will produce a NW flow of much cooler and drier air
across the area through this weekend. A dry cold front is then
forecast to cross the region monday evening followed by more high
pressure with reinforcing shot of cool/dry air for Tuesday and
Wednesday. Highs will be in the low to mid 60s Saturday and
mid 60s Sunday with lows in the 40s Saturday and Sunday nights.
Highs should moderate into the upper 60s to lower 70s ahead of the
front Monday then cool back into the 60s for Tuesday and
Wednesday. and Tuesday. The GFS continues to run a few degrees
cooler than the ECMWF, showing lows inland dropping into the upper
30s Sat night and Sun morning.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Short Term /through 18Z Thursday/...
As of 7 pm Wednesday...Mostly clear VFR conditions will prevail
into tonight with high pressure extending over area. Guidance
again indicating IFR to LIFR fog/stratus all TAF sites late
tonight and conditions do look more conducive with winds near
calm, thus forecasting period of 2SM BR 09Z-13Z. Conditions
improving to VFR 13Z-15Z Thursday with light winds through the
day.

Long Term /Thursday night through Monday/...
As of 230 AM Wed...VFR conditions and winds under 10 kts will
continue across the area Thu night with high pressure in place.
Scattered showers/isolated tstm possible mainly Friday
afternoon/evening with brief MVFR possible. Chance of showers
with MVFR cigs on Friday then VFR conditions expected over the
weekend. VFR rest of period with gusty NW winds late Friday night
through Sat night.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Thursday/...
As of 7 pm Wednesday...Surface high extending over area from
offshore tonight will get squeezed from west and southeast Friday,
resulting in coastal winds becoming easterly but speeds mainly 10
KT or less. Seas remaining 2-4 FT with lingering long period
easterly swell.

Long Term /Thursday night through Monday/...
As of 330 PM Wednesday...Updated winds Friday night through Sunday
with Superblend which indicates NW winds 20-25 KT late Friday
night and Saturday.

/Previous discussion/
As of 315 AM Tuesday...Small Craft Advisory conditions are
expected to develop Friday afternoon and continue through Saturday
night. Thursday the surface ridge axis builds back north with low
pres well to the SE...leading to winds becoming more Easterly with
speeds around 10 KT and then veering briefly to the West/Northwest
Friday. The latest guidance is indicating a stronger NW post
frontal surge of 15 to 25 KT behind the front Friday night and
Saturday. The NW flow will then gradually diminish to 15 to 20 KT
Saturday night and 10 to 15 KT late Sunday. Seas will begin to
build to 4 to 6 FT Friday afternoon as swell from Tropical/Sub
Tropical low pressure moves north well off of the coast. Seas will
further build to 6 to 9 FT in the strong NW post frontal flow and
should drop below 6 FT early Sunday morning.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
As of 330 PM Wednesday...Mainstem rivers have all crested and are
slowly receding. Major flooding conts along the Neuse river.
Areal Flood Warning conts for some inland areas as many roads even
well away from the mainstem rivers remain flooded.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 330 PM Wednesday...The Coastal Flood Advisory will continue
through Thursday evening. Gauges adjacent to Pamlico Sound
continue to indicate water levels 1 to 2 feet above normal due to
flood waters moving down rivers and tributaries. Minor coastal
flooding is expected to continue through Thursday due to the flood
waters and high astronomical tides. Additionally, minor coastal
flooding on the ocean side is also possible due to the high
astronomical tides.
