...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM EDT THIS MORNING
THROUGH THIS EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a Beach
Hazards Statement, which is in effect from 10 AM EDT this morning
through this evening.

South-southwest winds will increase at the beaches today to around 
20 mph, with higher gusts by afternoon. These winds combined with 
southerly wind waves will produce a strong south to north longshore 
current on east-facing beaches this afternoon, and strong west to 
east longshore current at Brunswick County beaches..

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Beach Hazards Statement is issued when threats such as rip
currents, longshore currents, and other hazards create life-
threatening conditions in the surf zone. Caution should be used when
in or near the water.

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has extended the Beach 
Hazards Statement. South-southwest around 20 mph with higher gusts, 
combined with southerly wind waves, will produce a strong south to 
north longshore current on east-facing beaches this afternoon, and 
strong west to east longshore current at Brunswick County beaches.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip currents,
piers, jetties, and other hazardous areas. Often, if the longshore 
current is strong enough, it will sweep swimmers off their feet, 
making it difficult to return to shore.

Caution should be used when in or near the water. Check with the
lifeguards before entering the ocean for possible hazards you may be
swept into.

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a Beach
Hazards Statement, which is in effect from 6 AM EDT Wednesday
through Wednesday evening.

South to southwest winds 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts will develop
on Wednesday. These winds combined with south southwest wind waves 
will produce a strong south to north longshore current at east- 
facing beaches, and a strong west to east longshore current at the 
south facing beaches.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
732 PM EDT Mon Jun 18 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and humid weather can be expected to crank up in the days
ahead, and heat advisories and even warnings are possible into
mid week. Storms today will mainly affect SE NC this afternoon
to early evening. Rain chances will increase late in the week,
as a cold front drops slowly south of the area. This front may
lift north over the region next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 300 PM Monday...The heat switch appears flipped to the 'ON'
position at this time, with NE SC and SE NC to become
embroiled in increasing daytime heat Tuesday, and onward.

TSTMS popping, will trudge SSE, and some may be near severe but
isolated at best, mainly because of high downdraft CAPE, as low
level column shear remains weak. SPC meso-analyst page showing
signals in the Microburst Composite over SE NC, due in part to
the high SBCAPES and PWAT values in this area. Low level lapse
rates are high but mid level LRs notably lower, and the updraft
behavior has exhibited this limitation in lethargy so far, but
we should see increasingly strong lower level boundaries become
snaked over the forecast area, increase local updraft velocity.

Heat Indices 100-105 Tuesday afternoon, falling shy for duration
and heat intensity for a Heat Advisory, but a few degrees ticks
of T and Td here and there, could change this, criteria, > 105
on apparent temp scale prompts an Advisory, > 110 is a Heat
Warning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Monday...Another warm and muggy Tuesday night
compliments of broad mid level ridging to our west and a stationary
piedmont trough. Similarly the heat wave continues into Wednesday.
Temperatures will quickly soar into the 90s by midday and heat index
values will reach 105/advisory levels. A weakening/flattening of the
ridge however will allow a few impulses to cross the area. The WRF
in particular is quite aggressive in showing convective development.
And with its forecast soundings showing dry adiabatic lapse rates
all the way up to 700mb there could be a small downburst threat.
Ironically though such deep layer lapse rates could also argue for a
deep, dry subcloud layer and only spotty convection. Will target
mainly coastal counties with POPs similar to WRF but with tempered
values. Most convection will wane diurnally but with such another
warm and humid night and a continuation of mid level impulses some
20-ish POPS warranted Wednesday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 300 PM Monday...The mid level pattern will become more
progressive in time as initially a mid level low moves across
the Ohio Valley. The small amplified ridge ahead of this system
will push a backdoor front into the area at least briefly Friday
before retreating well to the north over the weekend. Still
good pops for Thursday via a possible MCS and then forcing later
with the front. Guidance has dried out the mid levels somewhat
for the weekend into early next week and have overall jogged
down pops for these later periods. Temperatures will be a little
above climatology throughout the period but not exceedingly so.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 00Z...High confidence of VFR this evening as convection
continues moving SE and offshore. Overnight, any possible
convective re-development will be east of the terminals. VFR
overnight except for a chance of MVFR vsbys at locations where
rain occurred. This will be most likely at KLBT due to expected
lighter wind speeds. Winds will be WSW overnight 2-5 kt inland
terminals, and 5-10 kt coastal terminals. After sunrise VFR with
westerly winds around 10 kt becoming SW, except becoming SSW 15-20
kt at KCRE/KMYR in the afternoon. Attm convection is not expected.

Extended Outlook...VFR with possible short duration MVFR fog or IFR
cigs inland terminals early each morning. Isolated showers and
thunderstorms possible Wed, becoming scattered Thur-Sat.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 300 PM Monday...Bumpy seas, because wind-sea component
remains dominant this period with 4-5 second wave periods and
seas 4 feet offshore, possibly near 5 ft very outer edge and out
near the Frying Pan Tower. Advisory will be issued because of
expected frequency of 25 kt gusts overnight, mainly between 9 PM
and 9 AM. TSTMS may impact the waters N of Cape Fear through at
least early evening, as they move NW to SE.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Monday...As is usually the case during a heat wave the
marine environment will be characterized by Bermuda high-induced
southwesterly winds. The main speed regime will be 10-15kt and gusts
to 20kt will be common by both day and night in the well mixed
environment.  Spectral wave bulletins continue to show only two main
groups; a 5 second wind chop along with a 9 second southeasterly
swell of lesser presence. Significant wave forecast will remain 2-3
and occasionally 2-4ft; the higher off of NC coast.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM Monday...Not necessarily the standard "southwest winds of
10-15 and seas of 2-4 feet" forecast, well at least not for some of
the period. These conditions will be in place Thursday. By Friday a
backdoor front will make a run to the south at lest briefly. There
could be some northeast winds but for now maintained the direction
at easterly into early Saturday. The sea breeze and retreating front
will buckle the direction to more southeast by the end of the
period. Significant seas will be 1-3 feet but could be a little
higher briefly if a decent northeast surge develops.
