Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
950 AM EDT MON SEP 5 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Post Tropical Cyclone Hermine will continue to lift slowly
northeast along the East Coast through late week as high pressure
persists over the Southeastern States.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 950 AM Monday...Fair weather will prevail for the next
several days as high pressure surface and aloft remains over the
area while vertically stacked low pressure continues off of the
east coast. Some cloudiness expected for mainly NE coastal
sections as another short wave rotates around back side of upper
low, but models in agreement that precip threat will remain off
coast. Max temp forecast 82-85 inland and around 80 OBX.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
As of 400 AM Monday...Subtle changes to surface pattern as Post
Tropical Hermine is forecast to move NW, producing slight
tightening of pressure gradient over Eastern NC between Hermine to
NE and high pressure to SW. This will result in winds backing to
NW and W across area keeping min temps in lower 70s for coastal
sections. Otherwise another high and dry night with lows around 60
inland.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 3 am Mon...Models in good agreement through the period.
Surface and upper ridge over the area through Thursday will shift
off the coast Friday. Highs will average in the upper 80s to lower
90s, with mid/upper 80s Outer Banks. Lows Tuesday night will be in
the upper 60s coastal plain to mid 70s Outer Banks. With SW flow
through the remainder of the week, lows will be in the lower to
mid 70s.

A cold front will approach from the NW this weekend. Forecast
soundings show modest moisture and instability. Made no change to
current PoP of 30%. With more clouds and scattered convection
Sunday, highs will be in the mid/upper 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Short Term /through 12Z Tuesday/...
As of 700 AM Monday...High confidence in VFR conditions persisting
through TAF period all sites. Some mid and high clouds will affect
eastern sections through this evening with TAF sites possibly
seeing some SCT CU/SCU this afternoon. SKC expected tonight and
light W/NW winds expected to preclude fog development.

Long Term /Monday night through Friday/...
As of 3 am Mon...VFR through the period, with no precip forecast.
Surface winds will be NW around 5 knots Tuesday, W around 5 knots
Wednesday, SW 5-10 knots Thursday and Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Tonight/...
As of 950 AM Monday...Surface observations from the NC ferries on
the Pamlico Sound along with NWS and Weatherflow observations
indicate that winds across the sounds are frequently gusting to 25
KT. The models are not handling this flow too well but think
diurnal heating/convective mixing is contributing to the stronger
winds so will issue a SCA for the Sounds through the afternoon.
Gradient between Post Tropical Hermine to NE and high pressure to
W will keep N-NW winds 15-20 KT over waters today, becoming
Westerly tonight as Hermine forecast to move more NW. Seas will
persist 7-11 FT north to 4-6 FT south today, subsiding to 6-9 FT
north and 3-5 FT south tonight.

Long Term /Tue thru Fri/
As of 3 am Mon...The influence of Post-tropical cyclone Hermine of
the wind flow across the marine zones will come to an end Tuesday
into Tuesday night as a surface/upper level ridge of high pressure
becomes the dominant feature over the southeast states. Winds will
back from NW Tuesday to SW Tuesday night, continuing into Friday.
The pressure gradient will loosen, allowing winds to decrease as
well, averaging 5-15 knots Wed through Fri. Small craft seas will
subside as well. Based on latest NWPS run, made no change to
ending time of advisory for the waters north of Ocracoke, 09Z Wed.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 400 AM Monday...Tide gauge at Duck still running near 1.5 foot
above normal early this morning with another high tide cycle near
11 AM. Large 8 to 10 foot swells will likely produce some beach
erosion and overwash, thus will continue High Surf and Coastal
Flood advisories north of Cape Hatteras through the day. Beach
Hazards Statement for high rip threat and dangerous shorebreak
will continue as well.

&&

.MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

     103-104.
     High Surf Advisory until 8 PM EDT this evening for NCZ103.
