...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY
EVENING...

* LOCATIONS...In South Carolina, Coastal Horry and Coastal 
  Georgetown. In North Carolina, Coastal Pender and Coastal New 
  Hanover.

* TIMING...Through Thursday evening.

* SURF ZONE IMPACTS...Strong south to north longshore current at
  east facing beaches due to elevated south winds around 15 kts.

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.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
406 AM EDT Wed Aug 21 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Bermuda High pressure, the Piedmont trough and the daily
sea breeze will combine and aid the daily scattered showers
and thunderstorms each afternoon and evening thru Fri. A front
will drop south into the area late Friday then stall thru the
upcoming weekend into early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The ILM CWA will continue to remain in a weak area aloft,
basically sandwiched between the 2 upper highs, Bermuda to
the east and Ridging across the Western U.S. An upper trof will
lie between the 2 Highs with it's trof axis remaining west of
the FA thru this period. The trof not as amplified will still
result in continued moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, just not
entirely thru the atm column, as PWS remain between 1.75 and 2
inches. At the sfc, each day will feature the Piedmont trof
across the central Carolinas and the formation and inland
progressing sea breeze. The 2 boundaries will be the source of
lift for convection to ignite. During Thu, a weak s/w trof or
vort aloft could further aid convection development with POPs
slightly hier Thu than today. Temperatures will run slightly
above normal for max temps each day and likely a good 5 degrees
higher than climo for tonights lows.

&&

..SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As is typical of summer, expected isolated to scattered
diurnally driven thunderstorms thought there could be a little
greater cover friday afternoon and evening as a front approaches
from the north. Lows each night will be in the low to mid 70s
with highs Friday in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Model guidance suggests that the front will pass of the coast
Saturday into Saturday night and linger near the area into early
next week.  The stalled front and upper level support will allow
for multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms Sat and Sun
with showers and storms becoming more scattered in nature early
next week. Temperatures should be slightly below normal through
the period.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Thru the pre-dawn Wed hours, the convection approaching from
the west could reach the I-95 corridor before dissipating
around daybreak. A few showers may develop over the adjacent
Atl Waters early this morning and could briefly push across the
coastal terminals. Only brief periods of MVFR could occur with
this pcpn. Otherwise, looking at more or less a repeat of Tue
with the chance of convection slightly hier than what occurred
Tue. The daily sea breeze will develop by noon and slowly
progress inland as it comes against decent westerly winds in the
lower levels. Looking at WSW sfc winds around 5 kt at daybreak
that will increase to 5 to 10 kt later this morning. Winds will
veer to SSW 10 to 15 kt across the coastal terminals in the wake
of the inland progressing sea breeze. Will indicate vicinity
convection at the coastal terminals this aftn and prob30 for the
inland terminals mid aftn thru early evening.

Extended...Mainly VFR thru Fri with brief MVFR/IFR periods each
day due to aftn/evening convection and fog and/or stratus
around daybreak. A cold front will drop south and stall across
the region late Fri thru Sun. This will lead to an increase in
tsra coverage with MVFR/IFR conditions possible at any time of
the day or night.

&&

.MARINE...
Today thru Thu:
Sfc ridging extending from the center of Bermuda high pressure
well offshore, will drop slight southward this period, extending
onshore near the GA-FL state border. A sfc trof will persist
across the Central Carolinas thruout this period. Between the 2
features, a slow tightening of the sfc pg will occur thru the
period. Wind directions will remain SW, except SSW nearshore due
to the daily sea breeze. Speeds 10-15 kt except increasing to 15
to occasionally 20 kt across the ILM NC Waters. Significant seas
thru the period will run around 3 ft...except 3 to as much as 5
ft across the ILM NC Waters tonight thru Thu. Convection will
remain widely scattered at best, and primarily occur early this
morning and the pre-dawn Thu hours.

Thu night thru Sun:
Bermuda High will linger off the coast into Sat, maintaining 10
to 15 kt southwest flow. Speeds will be highest in the
afternoon and evening. A slow moving cold front will drops into
the area Sat and move off the coast Sat night, resulting in
winds becoming more E to NE around 10 KT by Sunday morning. Seas
3 to 4 ft Thu and Fri drop to 2 to 3 ft over the weekend.
