good low lvl helicity over the area. Good rainfall expected Mon
night with close to an inch poss...espcly coast. Shra wl end
rapidly most areas early Tue as the deepening low lifts well N

Winds and seas will increase from south to north during the day,
with small craft conditions developing across the coastal
waters and sounds. Added Albemarle Sound/Alligator River to SCA
and adjusted previous start times.
Long Term /Monday Night through Friday/...
As of 240 PM Sun...Poor boating much of this period. Low pres
will lift NE near or just inland from the coast Mon night. This
will produce strong ESE winds ahead of the low that will shift
to the W and remain gusty by Tue morn as the low lifts N of the
area. Could be a period of gale force winds Mon night and this
will lead to seas reaching 9 to 12 feet outer waters. Still some
uncertainty of track of low so will hold off on gale
headlines...could also be some high surf/minor coastal flood
issues. WNW winds will remain quite gusty through Wed night as
gradient remains tight between low well to the NNE and high pres
to the W. Speeds of 20 to 30 kts much of the time thru Wed
night with seas 6 to 10 feet. Winds will grad subside Thu to 15
kts or less late with seas dropping to 3 to 5 feet. NNW winds
