...DANGEROUS SURF CONDITIONS TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

.Strong southerly winds and large seas ahead of a strong cold
front will bring dangerous surf conditions to area beaches today 
into the weekend. Surf conditions will deteriorate through the day
today bringing a high risk of rip currents and large breaking 
waves to area beaches. The surf height is expected to peak around 
7 to 10 feet early Saturday morning, then gradually diminish 
through the weekend. The large surf will also lead to beach 
erosion and possible dune erosion and ocean overwash at vulnerable
locations, especially around the time of high tide.

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS
MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON
TO 9 PM EDT SATURDAY...

* HAZARDS...Beach and dune erosion with possible ocean overwash, 
  a high risk of rip currents, dangerous shore break, and a 
  strong longshore current.

* LOCATIONS...Eastern North Carolina Beaches from Oregon Inlet 
  to Surf City.

* SURF HEIGHT...Building to 5 to 8 feet Friday and peaking 
  around 7 to 10 feet Saturday morning.

* IMPACTS...Conditions will be dangerous to life threatening for 
  anyone entering the surf. Beach erosion will be likely with 
  the potential for dune erosion and ocean overwash, especially 
  around the time of high tide

* TIMING AND TIDES...The most likely time for strong rip 
  currents to occur is a couple hours of low tide, which will 
  occur around 2 PM Friday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and
dangerous swimming conditions.

If caught in a rip current remain calm. Don't fight the current.
Swim in a direction following the shoreline. When out of the
current, swim back to shore. If tired, float or tread water until
out of the rip current. If unable to escape, face the shore and
call or wave for help.

Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. The
most common injuries with strong shore break are neck and back
injuries, which most often occur when the powerful surf throws a
swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom. It is extremely
important to protect your head and neck whenever you are in
breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at all
times.

Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many cases
the longshore current is strong enough to prevent swimmers from
being able to keep their feet on the bottom making it difficult
to return to shore.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
311 PM EDT Thu Apr 18 2019

High pressure over the western Atlantic will continue to
influence the weather through tonight. A strong frontal system
will approach from the west Friday and move through the area
Friday night and early Saturday. High pressure will build into
the region early next week and continue through mid week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 245 PM Thursday...Southerly flow will continue to
increase tonight as the gradient tightens between Atlantic high
pressure and an approaching cold front from the west. As warm
advection increases late tonight, deeper moisture will begin to
stream in from the south and this should lead to the development
of scattered showers late. The combination of mostly cloudy
skies and southerly flow will result in mild overnight lows in
the mid to upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 245 PM Thursday...An exceptionally high amplitude upper
trough digging across the eastern US will develop a
cutoff/stacked low over the Tennessee Valley Friday. This low,
in combination with the persistent high offshore, will help
develop deep layer southerly flow/moisture advection locally.
Looks like numerous showers develop and advect into E NC from
the south early Friday as layer streamlines surge to +13 g/kg,
along with decent lift around base of advancing aforementioned
upper low. Only iso embedded thunder expected as CAPE vals will
be limited in the morning. May be better coverage of TSRA, esp
inland, Friday afternoon, as instability rises due to T/TD vals
increasing through the day. Raised temps slight Fri as almost
all guidance shows low to poss mid 80s inland with a few peaks
of mid day sun poss. Flow off the wtr will keep beaches a bit
cooler.

Severe risk increases Friday evening as the stacked low moves
over the southern Appalachians, with very strong winds on its
east side throughout the column. Guidance continues to show a
LLJ with winds of 50-60 kt at 925 mb ahead of a cold front that
will slowly cross the area Friday night. Gusty to strong winds
will arrive with the jet, especially for coastal areas, and have
upgraded the high wind watch to a High Wind Warning (>55 mph)
for Eastern Carteret through Hatteras Island, with a Wind
Advisory for adjacent zones from coastal Onlsow to the northern
OBX.

Additionally, the primary band of prefrontal moisture
convergence will cross the area Friday night and despite
continued limited instability (about 1000 J/kg per ensemble
guidance), showers and thunderstorms will bring the potential
for damaging wind gusts as they readily mix the very strong LLJ
winds to the surface. An isolated tornado threat will be present
as sfc winds are backed slightly to SSE providing helicity vals
to ~350 M2/S2. Heavy rain rates are expected, and will lead to
localized minor flooding as a slowly eastward propagating line
of heavy convective showers/embedded thunder is likely.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 300 PM Thu...Dry weather is forecast to prevail the
beginning through the middle of next week.

Saturday and Sunday...The cold front will be near the coast by
sunrise Saturday, and push off the coast during the morning. The
stacked low lifting across the Great Lakes will remain in
control of our weather, bringing atypical post- frontal
southwesterly flow and thus a lack of the CAA we typically see
behind FROPAs. Subsidence aloft will bring predominantly settled
conditions despite the lack of significant low level airmass
change. The upper low aloft has enough strong lift associated
with it to not completely discount a rogue iso shower or two,
and kept slgt chc PoPs to account for this.

The strong upr low will finally rotate through or near E NC on
Sunday, again possibly squeezing out some sct/iso showers
despite the limited moisture, esp in the afternoon as atms
destabilizes. No changes to the chc to slgt chc shower, best
chances nrn zones closer to vcnty of upr low. Threat comes to
end by Sunday evening.

Monday through Wednesday...Subtropical high pressure is
expected to ridge into the area early next week, bringing rain-
free conditions and near to above normal temperatures. A
backdoor cold front may make an approach towards our region
during the period. This feature could be a focal point for
another round of precip for the region, but with
timing/evolution differences only going for slgt chc PoPs for
now. Temperatures will be about 5 to 10 degrees above normal for
the period.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Short Term /through Fri/...
As of 1230 PM Thursday...VFR conditions expected thru the
evening with some increase in mid and highs clouds....S winds
will cont gust 20 to 25 kts. Later tonight gusty S winds cont
with most guidance showing a period of MVFR cigs developing
along with some sct prefrontal shra. Cigs will lift to VFR
later Fri morn and into the aftn, however sct shra/tsra will
cont with poss some pds of sub VFR. S winds will be quite strong
Fri with gusts to around 30kts mid to late morn thru the aftn.
More organized and poss severe storms expected aft 00z Sat.

Long Term /Friday Night through Monday/...
As of 305 PM Thu...Flying conditions deteriorate rapidly Friday
night with additional showers and thunderstorms impacting the
terminals at times. Pre-frontal wind gusts of around 30 knots
are still expected Friday evening. Severe storms producing very
strong winds are also a threat Friday night, along with Low
level wind shear. More settled (VFR) conditions will gradually
ensue again on Saturday and dominate through early next week.
