National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
427 AM EST Sat Mar 3 2018

...STRONG WINDS AND DANGEROUS SEAS CONTINUING...

.Strong low pressure off of southern New England will linger just
offshore through Sunday, then slowly move away on Monday. A tight
pressure gradient will exist between the low and a surface ridge
extending south from the Great Lakes, resulting in Gale Force 
winds and seas peaking around 20 feet. Winds will diminish Monday
but elevated seas will persist into midweek.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
1256 PM EST Thu Mar 1 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will approach from the west this afternoon. Low
pressure moving across to the north will strengthen off the mid
Atlantic coast late tonight and pull the cold front through the
area. The region will be in between the deep low pressure system
over the western Atlantic and a strong high pressure system
over the Great Lakes, leading to a prolonged period of gusty
winds Friday through Sunday. The high will settle over the area
Monday into Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 1245 PM Thursday...Rain has diminished over all but the
far northern zones. Another band of showers expected with the
front. Area of weak instability with CAPE values around 500 J/kg
indicated over South Carolina. Some of this instability could
get into our far southern counties as latest vsbl satellite
imagery showing some breaks in the cloud cover in that area. No
changes made to the forecast high temperatures this afternoon
with upper 60s to lower 70s, if more sunshine occurs. Light
SW/W winds in most areas currently should start to ramp up late
this afternoon as strong surface low swings into western PA by
evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
As of 400 AM Thursday...Per near term, band of showers/isolated
tstms will move across area during evening ahead of initial cold
front. Precip moving offshore around midnight with clearing
expected west to east overnight as shortwave trough moves
across. Winds will become NW and become gusty by Friday morning.
Min temps dropping to 45-50 with cold advection in wake of
frontal passage.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 3 am Thu...Deep low pressure off the mid-Atlantic coast
Friday will move slowly southeast through the weekend. The
pressure gradient between this feature and strong high pressure
to the west will lead to a prolonged period of gusty northwest
to north winds, and potential coastal flooding this weekend. See
separate coastal flooding section below.

Fri through Wed...Dry through the period. N-S oriented surface
ridge along the MS valley Fri will shift east while slowly
weakening, moving off the eastern seaboard early next week. At
the same time, a vertically-stacked low pressure system moves
slowly southeast off the Delmarva and into the western Atlantic.
Expect very windy conditions for eastern coastal locations as
the pressure gradient tightens between the exiting/deepening low
offshore and high pressure over the Great Lakes. Winds will
diminish early next week as high pressure builds in from the
west. By the weekend into early next week, temperatures will
cool to near or just below normal values.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Short Term /through Friday Afternoon/...
As of 1250 PM Thurs...A mix of MVFR and IFR conditions are
present across the airspace this afternoon. Clouds are quickly
scattering to the south, and will likely reach KOAJ and KEWN in
a few hours. Further north IFR conditions will persist through
the afternoon, with MVFR conditions returning by early evening.
A cold front will bring additional rain to the area this
evening, with thunderstorms possible south of US 70, including
KOAJ. Later tonight, MVFR conditions will quickly scatter behind
the front, with VFR conditions returning overnight. Winds will
increase dramatically by Friday morning as strong low pressure
system forms over the Western Atlantic. Winds will be NW 15-25
kts, with gusts to 25-35 kts on Friday. There will also be
significant LLWS present around 2000 ft at around 40-45 kts.
Windy conditions will continue into this weekend.

Long Term /Fri through Mon/...
As of 3 am Thu...VFR/dry weather through the period, though
low-level wind shear and crosswinds may be an issue Fri into
Sun as deep/strong low pressure off the mid-Atlantic coast moves
slowly away from the eastern seaboard this weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Tonight/...
As of 1245 PM Thursday...Light S/SW winds currently on the
coastal waters and sounds, mostly 10 knots or less, with seas of
4-5 feet. Winds should start to increase later in the afternoon,
and especially between 06z-09z tonight as strong cyclogenesis
takes place off the northern Outer Banks coast per latest high-
resolution models. Based on some early model trends, will likely
upgrade the Coastal Waters to a Storm Warning on the next update
as frequent gusts to 50 knots or higher will be likely Friday
and Friday night. Seas will build to 8 to 12 feet outer waters
through tonight.

Long Term /Fri through Mon/...
As of 3 am Thu...A prolonged period of very strong winds and
dangerous seas is forecast through the entire long term.

Gale force winds 30-40 kt are forecast to continue through
Sunday across all coastal waters and the Pamlico Sound, and
through Sat on the Albemarle Sound and all rivers. Wind
direction will veer from NW Fri and Fri night to N Sat and
continue into Mon. Wind speeds will diminish to 10-20 knots
early next week as high pressure builds into the region.

Seas through the period will be highest north of Cape Hatteras.
Wave heights across all coastal waters will build from Friday
into Sunday, peaking at 15-20 feet north of Cape Hatteras, 10-15
feet from Hatteras to Ocracoke, 9-12 feet from Ocracoke to Cape
Lookout and 6-9 feet south of Cape Lookout. Seas will slowly
subside early next week, but will remain above 6 feet so small
craft advisory conditions expected.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 3 am Thu...The long duration of strong NW/N winds will
ultimately determine the magnitude of possible soundside and
coastal flooding. Soundside flooding will be a concern around
Hatteras island to possibly Ocracoke and downeast Carteret
County, with oceanside issues expected north of Cape Hatteras
due to large waves and higher than normal astronomical tides.
Models show up to 3 feet above normal on the soundside of
Hatteras island and along the oceanside of Dare County north of
Cape Hatteras. A Coastal Flood Watch is now in effect from late
tonight into Sunday afternoon for Outer Banks Dare County.

Blowout conditions are possible on area rivers. Low water
levels are forecast for the Pamlico, Pungo, Neuse and Bay Rivers
from Friday morning to Saturday morning so a Low Water Advisory
has been issued.
