...DANGEROUS SHOREBREAK, STRONG LONGSHORE CURRENTS AND A HIGH
THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AREA BEACHES TODAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK FROM CAPE 
LOOKOUT NORTH...
...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING EXPECTED ADJACENT TO THE SOUTHERN 
PAMLICO SOUND AND LOWER NEUSE RIVER INTO THURSDAY...

.The combination of easterly and southeasterly swell will produce
dangerous rip currents, strong shorebreak, and strong longshore
currents along area beaches through today. Building seas will 
lead to high surf conditions for the beaches from Cape Lookout 
north that will continue through the end of the week. The 
persistent strong northeast winds will increase water levels over
the southern Pamlico Sound and lower Neuse River leading to minor
coastal flooding.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT FRIDAY
NORTH OF CAPE LOOKOUT... 
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS 
EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City has issued
a Coastal Flood Advisory, which is in effect until 11 AM EDT
Thursday.

* HAZARDS...High risk for dangerous rip currents, dangerous
  shorebreak, and strong longshore currents. Minor coastal
  flooding adjacent to the Pamlico Sound and Neuse River.

* LOCATIONS...High surf for beaches from Cape Lookout north. Minor
  Coastal Flooding adjacent to Pamlico Sound and lower Neuse
  River. 

* TIMING...For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 PM EDT Friday. 
  For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 11 AM EDT Thursday. For 
  the Beach Hazards Statement, through this evening.

* SURF HEIGHT...6 to 8 feet today and peaking 8 to 11 feet 
  tonight through early Friday north of Cape Lookout.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Inundation of 1 to locally 2 feet will 
  produce minor flooding.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...The rough surf will lead to beach erosion 
  with threat of localized ocean overwash during high tide.

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.

A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

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.

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.

&&

Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

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

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
720 PM EDT Tue Sep 17 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Humberto is forecast to move east-northeast well
southeast of the area the next several days. Although no direct
impacts are expected with Humberto, rough marine conditions and
strong rip currents are expected to continue this week. A cold
front will continue to cross the area this evening followed by
strong high pressure building in from the north and northeast
though the end of the week bringing the first touch of fall
weather to the area.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
As of 715 PM Tuesday...Surface cold front now appears to be
south of our CWA with dewpoints lowering. High pressure will
continue build in from the north overnight producing cooler
temperatures. Outflow cirrus from Hurricane Humberto will
continue to impact coastal areas and some scattered high-based
cumulus may impact inland areas for the next several hours
before dissipating. Low temperatures by morning will be in the
upper 50s well inland, and mid to upper 60s south coast, low 70s
Outer Banks.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
As of 245 PM Tue...Strong high pressure will continue to build
in from the north, while TC Humberto continues to move E/NE well
offshore of the US coast. Gradient will tighten between the
high and Humberto, bring gusty NE winds esp along the coast.
Much drier airmass will continue to filter into the area with
PWATs dropping below one inch. Much cooler and fall-like temps
expected as low level NE flow continues. Highs in the low/mid
70s along the beaches and mid to upper 70s inland, with
dewpoints mainly in the 50s. An isolated shower will be possible
along the coast during the afternoon and evening, but not
enough coverage to warrant pops at this time. Wind gusts 35-40
mph possible along the Outer Banks during the afternoon and
evening.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 315 PM Tue...TC Humberto will bring indirect coastal
impacts to E NC through the end of the week, though high
pressure will build in bringing pleasant sensible weather to the
region with below climo temps for a change. By the weekend the
upper ridge will shift directly over the eastern seaboard with
longwave troughing setting up over the central plains, and temps
moderating back to near normal, then above normal by early next
week with building upr ridge.

Wednesday night through Thursday...Strong high pressure builds
in from the north through the end of the week while Humberto
continues to track ENE across the western Atlantic. Tight
pressure gradient between these systems will continue to bring
breezy northeast winds and a cooler and drier airmass that will
give us a first hint of fall. Winds still quite gusty on the OBX
where gradient is maximized Wed night and should see winds
gusting to 35-45 mph first half of the night. Continued favoring
highs on the cooler side of guidance for Thu, resulting in a
forecast of 70s area wide. This in line with low lvl thicknesses
around 1360-1370M to support the coolest day being Thursday.
Trended with lowest MOS guide and even slightly below, as clr
skies, calm to light winds, and dry air mass allow for ideal
radiational cooling regime with lows in the low/mid 50s interior
zones to the 60s on the beaches where proximity to the still
warm waters and decent breezes keep temps quite a bit warmer.

Friday through Saturday...Highs moderate a bit on Fri with a
rise in low lvl thicknesses supporting readings in the mid/upr
70s interior to low/mid 70s OBX. Another chilly night Fri night
with sfc high directly overhead providing clr skies and calm
winds, with lows in the low/mid 50s away from the beaches, to
low 60s along the coast. High temps moderate back to near climo
in the low/mid 80s inland to upr 70s OBX, though with the
continued very dry airmass (TDs in the 50s) it will still feel
very pleasant.

Sunday through Tuesday...Return swrly flow continue to moderate
temps back to climo and above, with highs in the mid 80s, and
lows moderating back into the 60s. It will continue to be dry
however with upr ridge holding strong over the SE CONUS,
although guidance suggests that ridge will eventually break down
with longwave troughing ejecting out of the central U.S.

.AVIATION /23Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Short Term /through Wednesday/...
As of 715 PM Tue...VFR conditions should prevail through this
TAF cycle. Outflow cirrus from Hurricane Humberto will mostly
impact the coastal areas, while the TAF sites may deal with some
high-based cumulus behind the cold front over the next few
hours. The advection of lower dewpoints and NE breezes should
preclude fog formation overnight tonight. NE wind gusts 15-25
kt expected Wed afternoon.

Long Term /Wednesday night through Sunday/...
As of 315 PM Tue...Strong high pressure builds in mid to late
week with Humberto passing well offshore bringing continued
gusty winds Wed night and Thur, esp during the afternoon when
mixing is maximized. Otherwise, good flying conditions with
mainly sunny skies and lower humidities preventing widespread
fog formation through late week. With calm winds expected this
weekend there may be patchy light fg/br each morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Wednesday/...
As of 720 PM Tuesday...No major changes to the marine forecast
as gusty E/NE winds continue at 15-25 knots with gusts to around
30 knots with seas already up to 8-9 feet. Strong NE winds and
dangerous seas will continue through the period. High pressure
will continue to build in from the north through Wednesday, as
gradient tightens between the high and TC Humberto. Wind wave
combined with long period swells from distant Humberto will
allow dangerous seas to build. NE winds will increase to 20-30
kt Wed afternoon and evening. Seas peak at 6-13 ft Wed evening,
highest across the outer central waters. Main change this
afternoon was to upgrade SCA to Gale Warning for the Pamlico
Sound, and coastal waters south of Oregon Inlet with winds
peaking Wed afternoon into the first part of Wed night. Expect
winds 25-30 kt with frequent gusts to 35 kt. The northern waters
may see some gale force gusts as well, but will keep strong SCA
there at this time. Also added Pamlico/Pungo Rvrs to SCA for
gusty winds Wed afternoon.

Long Term /Wednesday night through Sunday/...
As of 315 PM Tue...SCA conditions expected through much of the
long term with gusty nerly winds, dangerously large seas as
combined swells from TC Humberto and pressure gradient between
building high pressure and Humberto well offshore impact the
waters.

Continued gales first half of Wed night as gradient will be
maximized, then winds slowly diminish through Thursday,
decreasing to less than 25 kt by Thur morning for sounds and
rivers. Seas will remain quite high through the end of the week
into the weekend as long period swell continues to only slowly
subside. Seas should subside below 6 ft all waters by Sat
evening.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 245 PM Tue...Longer period swells from TC Humberto will
lead to a high threat of rip currents this week. In addition to
the swells, strong NE winds will develop this evening into Thu
as strong high pres builds in from the NE. These winds combined
with the swells will produce large seas likely aoa 10 feet over
portions of the coastal wtrs. With waves heights in surf zone
expected to build to 8 ft later tonight will continue high surf
advisory from Cape Lookout N. The high surf will cont thru the
end of the week and may see some overwash in vulnerable
locations during high tides. Minor water level rises are likely
for soundside locations adjacent to the Southern Pamlico Sound
and Neuse Rvrs in Craven and Carteret Wed afternoon into Wed
night. Mainly impacting Downeast Carteret and areas along the
Neuse River with persistent strong NE winds. Will hold off on
advisory at this time.
