...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City has issued
a Beach Hazards Statement, which is in effect through this
evening.

* HAZARDS...High risk for dangerous rip currents, dangerous 
  shorebreak and longshore currents.

* LOCATIONS...All Eastern North Carolina beaches.

* TIMING AND TIDES...The most likely time for strong rip currents
  to develop are a couple of hours before and after low tide, 
  which will occur around 3 PM this afternoon.

* SURF HEIGHT...Dangerous shore break of 3 to 5 feet.


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
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
819 PM EDT Sat Sep 14 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will extend over the area through much of next
week. Another back door cold front will move through by Tuesday.
Tropical Cyclone Humberto will bring rough marine conditions and
strong rip currents to the waters next week but little other
direct impacts to eastern North Carolina. Fall-like weather
filters in to close out the work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
As of 8 PM Sat...Iso showers inland have dissipated with loss
of heating. Iso/sct showers continue offshore in the vicinity of
a coastal trough with a few pushing into the OBX, and guidance
showing this continuing overnight. Another night of fog and low
stratus looks likely during the predawn hours. The fog could be
dense in places as winds will be calm to light. Lows will be
around 70 inland to mid 70s coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
As of 330 PM Sat...Any fg and low stratus will mix out by mid
morning and be replaced by partly to mostly skies through the
afternoon. Only a couple isolated showers expected with a bit
more drier mid level air advecting in. Temps will rise a few
more degrees to levels above climo, in the mid/upr 80s for
interior locales, low/mid 80s on the OBX.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 3 PM Saturday...An onshore low-level flow coupled with a
deformation zone between Tropical Cyclone Humberto well to the
south and high pressure to the north will lead to a chance of
scattered showers and a few thunderstorms Monday through
Tuesday, especially near the coast. Model consensus keeps
Humberto well to the south of our region with impacts likely
limited to high surf/rough seas. As Humberto moves away in the
Tuesday night/Wednesday time frame, strong high pressure will
build down the mid-Atlantic from the northeast. This will lead
to a hint of fall-like weather with lower dewpoints beginning
late Tuesday night through late week with slightly cooler
temperatures. Dewpoints will be in the 50s inland to 60s coast
from Wednesday through Saturday with daytime highs mainly in the
lower 80s and lows in the upper 50s deep inland and low/mid 60s
coast.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term /through Sunday/...
As of 8 PM Sat...Pred VFR continues through the evening, then
expect to see fog and stratus develop after midnight bringing
IFR/LIFR conditions. Conditions gradually improve mid to late
morning with pred VFR returning by the afternoon, though iso
showers may bring brief periods of sub-VFR condition through
the afternoon.

Long Term /Sunday Night through Thursday/...
As of 330 PM Saturday...Periods of sub-VFR conditions are
possible mainly along the coast through Tuesday as scattered
showers and thunderstorms are possible with a deep onshore flow
with the best chances of such conditions at EWN/OAJ. Surface
high pressure builds back in by mid week with predominant VFR
conditions expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Saturday/...
As of 8 PM Sat...Winds generally erly at 5-15 kt for the waters.
Seas still elevated due to lingering ENE swell at 5-6 ft at
10-11 sec. The long period swell will take awhile to subside,
though think they finally drop below 6 ft for the ctrl waters
during the morning hours Sun.

Long Term /Sunday Night through Thursday/...
As of 330 PM Saturday...Winds become more NE by Monday. Some
uncertainly remains with the track of Tropical Storm Humberto
which does effect magnitude of marine impacts, but confidence is
increasing in increasing swell energy building seas up to 6+
late Monday night and as high as 9-10 feet by Wednesday
especially for the northern and central waters and sustained NE
winds of 20-25 knots by Wednesday. A few gale force gusts cannot
be ruled out.
