...SIGNIFICANT OCEAN OVERWASH EXPECTED TO CONTINUE NORTH OF CAPE
HATTERAS THROUGH SUNDAY...
...MINOR SOUNDSIDE COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING'S HIGH TIDE...
...HIGH THREAT OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS AND ROUGH SURF FOR THE
BEACHES NORTH OF CAPE HATTERAS SUNDAY...
.Gradually diminishing swell and elevated ocean levels associated
with Tropical Storm Melissa will continue to produce dangerous
surf conditions, and periods of ocean overwash north of Cape
Hatteras on Sunday. Beach erosion and dune overwash is also
possible from Cape Hatteras to Cape Lookout through Sunday
morning. Elevated water levels also bring the threat for minor
soundside coastal flooding around the time of high tides.

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT
SUNDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT SUNDAY...
* HAZARDS...Significant ocean overwash expected to continue for
the beaches north of Cape Hatteras through Sunday. High rip
current risk, dangerous shore break, and strong longshore
currents will also continue.
* LOCATIONS...Beaches from Duck to Cape Hatteras.
* TIMING...For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 AM EDT Sunday.
For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 8 PM EDT Sunday. For the
Beach Hazards Statement, through Sunday evening.
* SURF HEIGHT...4 to 7 feet north of Cape Hatteras, and 2 to 4
feet south of Cape Hatteras.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above
ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and
tidal waterways resulting in a low threat of property damage.
Some roads and low lying property including parking lots, parks,
lawns, and homes adjacent to the waterfront will experience
shallow flooding.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Significant ocean overwash remains possible
through Sundays high tide cycles. Potential impacts include road
closures, especially from Oregon Inlet south to Buxton. The next
high tide will occur tomorrow morning around 8 AM.
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.
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.
&&
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

* HAZARDS...Significant ocean overwash expected to continue for
the beaches north of Cape Hatteras through Sunday. High rip
current risk, dangerous shore break, and strong longshore
currents will also continue.
* LOCATIONS...Beaches from Duck to Cape Hatteras.
* TIMING...For the High Surf Advisory, until 2 PM EDT this
afternoon. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 11 PM EDT
this evening. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through this
evening.
* SURF HEIGHT...5 to 8 feet Sunday north of Cape Hatteras. 3 to 5
feet south of Cape Hatteras.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 3 feet of inundation above
ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and
tidal waterways resulting in a low threat of property damage.
Some roads and low lying property including parking lots, parks,
lawns, and homes adjacent to the waterfront will experience
shallow flooding.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Significant ocean overwash remains possible
through today's high tide cycles. Potential impacts include road
closures, especially from Oregon Inlet south to Buxton. The next
high tide will occur this morning around 8 AM.
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.
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.
&&
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

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. && $$

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
800 PM EDT Sat Oct 12 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Weak high pressure will remain offshore through tomorrow, as a
cold front approaches from the west late tomorrow night and
into Monday. High pressure will quickly pass through the area on
Tuesday, and then a stronger low pressure system will move up
the east coast, and push a cold front through the region on
Wednesday. Cooler high pressure will build in late week and into
next weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 240 PM...Weak high pressure will continue over the area
tonight, and will lead to calm and clear conditions tonight.
However, with low level heights a bit higher than last night,
expect temps to be a bit warmer, reaching the upper 50s to low
60s inland, and the low to mid 60s along the coast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
As of 245 PM Sat...A cold front will approach the region
tomorrow, with increasing clouds expected along the coastal
plain by morning. Showers should hold off now until late morning
to early afternoon on the coastal plain, with conditions
remaining dry farther east through most of the afternoon. It
will be very warm again east of the clouds with temps expected
to climb into the low 80s, while over the coastal plain temps
will remain in the 70s under mostly cloudy skies. Rain chances
spread to the coast by early evening, and couldn't rule out a
thunderstorm developing depending on the amount of daytime
heating observed.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM Sat...Two rounds of precipitation are likely
across eastern NC over the next few days. The first with a slow-
moving front Sunday night into Monday morning, then another
with low pressure moving to our west dragging in a stronger cold
front Tuesday night and Wednesday. Cooler drier air will follow
the cold front for late next week.
Sunday Night through Monday...A slow-moving front will approach
the area Sunday night with increasing clouds from the west. The
deepest moisture and best lift will occur later Sunday night
into Monday morning and will continue with likely PoPs through
this period. QPF amounts will generally be one-half inch or less
with this system. With southwest flow, high temperatures both
Sunday and Monday will reach the lower 80s inland with milder
overnight lows in the 60s.
Monday Night through Tuesday...We will be between weather
systems with low PoPs, mainly confined to the coast, and winds
becoming N/NE for a period before quickly veering to S/SW ahead
of the next system by late Tuesday.
Tuesday Night and Wednesday...Longer range models continue to
show low pressure moving along the I-95 corridor Tuesday night
with a couple of weaker waves of low pressure moving near the
coast early Wednesday. Deep moisture and increased lift expected
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning and will hang on to likely
PoPs for this period, along with a slight chance of thunder
given weak instability and decent mid-level dynamics. Milder
temperatures expected during this period with lows in the mid
60s and highs upper 70s to lower 80s.
Wednesday Night through Friday...As strong cold front moves
offshore Wednesday night, expect cooler and drier air for the
remainder of the week with highs mainly in the 60s, with
Thursday being the coolest day. Overnight lows are likely to
reach the upper 40s/lower 50s over much of the area by Friday
morning. These cooler temperatures will be accompanied by gusty
NW/N winds, signaling the deepest cool airmass so far in the
fall season.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term /through Sunday Afternoon/...
As of 800 PM Saturday...VFR conditions are expected through the TAF
period but would not be surprised to briefly see pockets of ground
fog overnight that trigger short lived IFR conditions. Otherwise VFR
ceilings will begin to move in from the west during the day tomorrow
in advance of the cold front that will approach tomorrow evening
into early Monday. A few gusts of 10-15 kts can be expected tomorrow
during the early afternoon, particularly at eastern TAF sites.
Precipitation should hold off till the end of the TAF period but
expect ceiling to drop to below VFR levels and showers and storms to
begin in the west just after 00z Monday and closer to 6z for coastal
locations.
Long Term /Sunday evening through Thursday/...
As of 800 PM Saturday. The front will linger over the
area through much of the day Monday, presenting adverse aviation
conditions. Tuesday may see a return to VFR before a stronger low
pressure system approaches from the southwest early Wednesday
morning, bringing the best chances for significant rain as showers
and thunderstorms move through the area. Thursday will see a return
to high pressure and VFR conditions.
&&
.MARINE...
Short Term /Through Tomorrow/...
As of 305 PM Sat...Dangerous seas and waves continue, with the
latest buoy observations showing seas of around 6-10 ft north of
Cape Hatteras, while conditions to the south have improved to
3-5 ft. Winds have come around to the south in some spots and
remain variable in others. Expect winds to become SW 10-15 kts
overnight, and then turn to the S tomorrow afternoon ahead of a
cold front. Seas will continue to be 6-10 ft through this
evening, and then will subside to 5-8 ft by tomorrow morning
north of Cape Hatteras. By the afternoon seas will be 4-6 ft
north of Cape Hatteras, and 2-4 ft to the south.
Long Term /Sunday through Thursday/...
As of 300 PM Sat...After a couple of quieter marine days early
next week, a strong area of low pressure will track inland near
the I-95 corridor, with a couple of smaller lows possible near
the coast. This will all be in advance of a strong cold front
will approaches later Tuesday and moves offshore Wednesday.
Gusty SW winds Tuesday night and early Wednesday become NW
Wednesday afternoon with gusts likely to exceed 25 knots and
seas building to 6 feet or greater, thus SCA will again be
needed.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 305 PM Sat...Large swells and high water levels from
Subtropical Storm Melissa will continue through most of the
weekend, with areas of significant ocean overwash expected
across the Outer Banks (mostly Hatteras Island, but possible on
Ocracoke Island as well). Ocean overwash will be likely through
the high tide cycle on Sunday evening, so have extended the
Coastal Flood Advisory through then. Given reported high water
levels in Downeast Carteret County, including the Beaufort area,
have added eastern Carteret County and Ocracoke Island to the
Coastal Flood Advisory until around noon on Sunday.
