* HAZARDS...High risk for powerful or numerous rip currents and
  dangerous shore break. 

* LOCATIONS...Outer Banks beaches north of Cape Point, Cape 
  Hatteras.

* TIMING AND TIDES...The most likely time for strong rip 
  currents to develop will be a couple hours before and after 
  low tide which will occur around 10 AM today. Strong rip

* SURF HEIGHT...4 to 7 ft.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

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
634 PM EDT Sat Aug 24 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will linger just south of our area tonight and
Sunday. The front will stall well offshore Sunday as a potential
tropical or subtropical low moves northeast but well off the
coast through Monday. Another cold front will approach the area
mid week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
As of 630 PM Saturday...Patchy rain conts over mainly the nrn
tier. Will cont likely pops these areas a bit longer then shld
see grad less coverage later this evening, however will have at
least some threat of shra activity all night with weak
overrunning in place.

Prev disc...Latest upper air analysis shows a broad positively-
tilted trough draped across the Northeast U.S. with eastern
N.C. near the right- entrance region of an H3 50-60 kt jet. Some
weak mid- level energy at H5 was noted in SPC mesoanalysis
drifting into central NC. At the surface, a ridge of high
pressure (indicative of CAD) continues to strengthen in the wake
of the cold front now stalled off the coast. Overrunning 850 mb
southerly flow over the front, combined with the mid-level
vorticity advection and weak jet support has aided in scattered
shower activity across much of the area.

Expect rain to continue into the evening as the aforementioned
mid-level disturbance slowly migrates east and the front remains
pinned near the coast. The extensive cloud cover today, as
expected, greatly hindered instability and the odds of any real
appreciable QPF associated with convective downpours. Kept PoPs
at likely but did lower QPF quite a bit as a result and took out
any mention of thunder as best instability looks to be offshore.
Have PoPs gradually trending lower into the morning hours as
mid- level support degrades. Coastal areas closest to the
surface front could still see a shower or two and kept chance
PoPs here.

Temps cooler still as the wedge persists with lows upper 60s
inland and low to mid 70s along the coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
The upper level trough gradually shifts east with increasingly
dry air filtering in at the mid and upper levels. The high
pressure ridge is expected to continue strengthening Sunday. The
bulk of precip should remain offshore near the front/coastal
trough but cannot rule out a few showers or two near the coast.
Otherwise with increasing dry air cloud cover should finally
start to slowly decrease through the day. The wedge should still
keep temps pleasant for late August with highs again upper 70s
inland and low 80s closer to the coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 345 PM Sat...A drying trend for the latter half of the
weekend through early next week, then a cold front moves through
mid week with the next chance of showers or storms. Mainly dry
for the end of the week with high pres moving back in.

Sunday Night through Monday...The mid to upper level trough
over the NE CONUS will will slide farther east, with high pres
ridging southward into the Carolinas and possible tropical or
subtropical system moving NE well off the coast. This regime
will bring mainly dry conditions as drier dewpoints advect in
with the high and the quasi- stationary frontal boundary
remaining well south of the area. Decreased pops markedly,
though kept some small 20-30% along immediate coast where some
showers may brush by, though mainly should remain over the
coastal waters.

Much cooler for Sun night as TD's drop into the low 60s inland
to. Lows will range from the low/mid 60s coastal plain to around
70 coastal locales. Highs Monday pleasant with continued lowered
dewpoints, and mainly in the 80-85 degree range.

Tuesday...Continued mainly dry as tempo ridging continues with
next shortwave and front still well to the west. Temps moderate
a bit more into the mid to possibly some upper 80s.

Wednesday through Thursday...Good agreement amongst 24/12Z
global model suite in next shortwave and cold front swinging
through. Have continued the chc pops for sct showers/storms
mainly Wed and Wed night. Kept in a chc pop for Thur as well as
there are some timing differences on the exit of the shortwave
and frontal boundary. Temps will be near climo with highs
mid/upr 80s and lows in the mid/upr 60s interior to low 70s
coast.

Friday through Saturday...Fcst a bit more murky this period.
Some indication the frontal boundary lifts north or becomes hung
up near the coast, and some showers develop with increasing
fgen, so will keep chc pops coastal areas and silent 20 pop for
interior zones. Latest ECM has a clean fropa and dry high pres,
though would like to see more run-to-run continuity before
removing pops. Temps will continue near climo this period.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term /through Sunday/...
As of 630 PM Saturday...Confident will have mainly sub VFR thru
Sun morn...difficult to determine how much IFR wl occur. Bulk
of guidance keeps cigs in MVFR range, however some periods of
IFR poss espcly early then again twrd morning. On Sunday cigs
shld slowly lift and eventually begin to sct out as drier air
works in with VFR expected in the aftn.

Long Term /Sunday night through Thu/...
As of 345 PM Sat...A quasi-stationary boundary will remain
well south later this weekend through early next week, therefore
a drier regime expected. Still could see some ocnl sub VFR
mainly in lowered cigs as some low level moisture remains, but
generally a drying trend is taking shape. Next cold front with
possible showers/storms arrives by Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Sunday/...
As of 630 PM Sat...Bumped up winds Albemarle Sound and
Alligator River based on obs this evening...otherwise no signif
changes.

Prev disc...Current obs show seas around 2 feet south of
Hatteras and 3 to 5 north with winds generally around 10-15
knots out of the N/NNE. Seas never got quite to 6 feet but have
lingered at around 5 feet north of Oregon Inlet. Similar
conditions expected in the near term before a tightening
gradient between the front and the ridge increases winds to
10-20 knots, increasing to around 20 to 25 knots from north to
south by Sunday afternoon. SCAs have been expanded to all waters
by Sunday morning and continuing into the long term. Seas
gradually build to 6 feet for all waters by Sunday night.

Long Term /Sunday night through Thu/...
As of 345 PM Sat...NE winds peak Sun evening with high pres
inland and low pres well off the coast maximizing the gradient.
Winds solid 15-25 kt with some higher gusts, and SCA for all
rivers and sounds except for the Pamlico River. The wind
gradient begins to relax on Monday, though seas will remain
elevated for longer, through Tuesday. Return flow to the E and
then S develops on Wed though will be quite light no higher
than 10 kts ahead of next front that sweeps through sometime
Wednesday night, which will bring winds back around to a nrly
direction by Thu.
