...POST TROPICAL CYCLONE NESTER WILL MOVE ACROSS EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA SUNDAY PRODUCING STRONG WINDS, DANGEROUS SURF, MINOR
BEACH EROSION AND MINOR OCEAN AND SOUNDSIDE FLOODING FROM LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...
.As the remnants of Nester move across Eastern North Carolina
Sunday, Gale Force southeast to south winds in the morning will
veer to northwest to north around 25 knots in the afternoon,
continuing through Sunday night. The strong winds will produce
rough surf of 6 to 8 feet, dangerous rip currents, strong
longshore currents, minor beach erosion, and minor soundside
flooding from late tonight into early Sunday evening.
The soundside flooding is forecast to occur in areas along the
Outer Banks, mainly north of Cape Hatteras adjacent to the
Pamlico Sound where inundation of 1 to 2 feet above ground level
will possible.
The rough surf of 6 to 8 feet will result in minor beach erosion
along south facing beaches south of Cape Hatteras Sunday morning
and afternoon, and along the east facing beaches north of Cape
Hatteras Sunday afternoon and early evening.
Dangerous rip currents and high surf will be a threat at all area
beaches throughout Sunday.

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM TO 8 PM EDT
SUNDAY...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 8 PM
EDT SUNDAY...
The National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City has issued
a Beach Hazards Statement, which is in effect through Sunday
evening.
* LOCATIONS...Minor soundside flooding is expected adjacent to
the Pamlico Sound north of Cape Hatteras. Minor beach erosion,
dangerous rip currents and strong longshore currents will be a
threat along all area beaches.
* TIMING...For the High Surf Advisory, from 5 AM to 8 PM EDT
Sunday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 10 AM to 8 PM EDT
Sunday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Sunday evening.
* SURF HEIGHT...Up to 4 to 6 feet north of Cape Hatteras and up to
6 to 8 feet south of Cape Hatteras.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Minor soundside flooding with inundation
of 1 to 2 feet above ground level will be possible adjacent to
the Pamlico Sound north of Cape Hatteras. This will affect 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 could experience shallow flooding.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Minor beach erosion, rough surf, dangerous
rip currents, and strong longshore currents.
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.

EVENING...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS
MORNING TO 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING...
* LOCATIONS...Minor soundside flooding is expected adjacent to
the Pamlico Sound north of Cape Hatteras. Minor beach erosion,
dangerous rip currents and strong longshore currents will be a
threat along all area beaches.
* TIMING...For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 PM EDT this
evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 10 AM this
morning to 8 PM EDT this evening. For the Beach Hazards
Statement, through this evening.
* SURF HEIGHT...Up to 4 to 6 feet north of Cape Hatteras and up
to 6 to 8 feet south of Cape Hatteras.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Minor soundside flooding with
inundation of 1 to 2 feet above ground level will be possible
adjacent to the Pamlico Sound north of Cape Hatteras. This
will affect 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 could experience
shallow flooding.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Minor beach erosion, rough surf, dangerous
rip currents, and strong longshore currents.
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.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 19, 7:02 PM EDT, 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
702 PM EDT Sat Oct 19 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will cross the area tonight and
Sunday. High pressure will build over the area Sunday night and
Monday. A cold front will move through the area Tuesday night.
Yet another cold front will approach the area by the end of the
week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
As of 700 PM Saturday...Early this evening, weak low level warm
advection ahead of the approaching remnants of Nester has
resulted in the development of mostly light rain showers to the
west and south of the area. These showers have been dissipating
as they try to move into the dry air entrenched across eastern
NC. It may take until after midnight before the precipitation
increases in coverage and intensity as the warm advection
increases and moisture deepens with an increasing 40-50 kt low
level jet when the low gets closer to the area. The center of
Post Tropical Cyclone Nestor is forecast to quickly accelerate
northeast across South Carolina tonight and across Eastern NC
Sunday producing a myriad of impacts for our area. The strong
low-level jet will transport tropical moisture into the area
with PW values increasing to >2" leading to frequent heavy
downpours and widespread QPF totals of 1-3 inches over much of
the CWA by Sunday evening with a few locally higher totals,
especially northwestern sections. Strong gusty winds develop
overnight and a Wind Advisory remains in place over the coastal
zones tonight where gusts of 45 to 50 mph will be possible. Some
concern continues for brief isolated tornadoes given
respectable shear and CAPE values near 1000 J/kg near the coast
in the morning on Sunday. The SPC has placed the southern
portion of our area in "Slight" severe weather risk overnight
into early Sunday morning. Lows tonight will be in the upper 50s
well inland and the muggy mid 60s coast given the precipitation
and cloud cover.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
As of 315 PM Saturday...Active weather will continue on Sunday
morning with the threat of heavy rainfall, gusty winds, elevated
water levels and isolated tornadoes. This threat should be at
its highest from 12z-18z with decent composite parameters (STP,
SCP) shown near the coast. As the extratropical low races away
from the area after midday, weather should quickly improve from
west to east. Skies will try to slowly clear late in the day
and gusty W/NN winds will develop in the wake of the departing
low. With a warm start, temperatures will actually be quite mild
with highs on Sunday mainly in the mid 70s.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 400 PM Sat...A strong cold front is forecast to slide
across the region in the middle of the week, followed by high
pressure building in and bringing a drier and cooler airmass.
Another front approaches the Carolinas to close the workweek.
Sunday night into Monday...A drier and cooler airmass will build in
on the backside of the exiting low as ridging builds aloft. Some
showers may linger along the Outer Banks Sunday night, while the
rest of the forecast area is dry. Expect a mix of sun and clouds
Monday, with highs in the low to mid 70s.
Tuesday through Thursday...The next chance for rain comes on Tuesday
as a strong cold front moves eastward ahead of a significant upper
level trough over the central CONUS. There remains some timing
differences as the GFS is slightly faster than the ECMWF due to
a less amplified trough. Regardless of the timing issues,
confidence remains high with precip chances increasing Tuesday.
Models are suggesting a high shear/low CAPE set-up ahead of the
approaching cold front. Therefore, adding the mention of thunder
in the forecast for Tuesday. In general, the cold front is
expected to push through late Tuesday into Wednesday. After the
frontal passage, strong CAA will help knock highs back down to
around seasonal levels with surface high pressure building from
the west. Expect temperatures to be in the mid to upper 70s
ahead of the cold front, then dropping down into the lower 70s
Wednesday through Thursday.
Friday and Saturday...Another significant trough drops down
from the Northern Plains into the central CONUS with an
attendant cold front forecast to approach the area at the end of
the week. Can't rule out a few coastal showers along a
developing coastal trough Friday with the main cold front
approaching on Saturday. Despite timing differences confidence
is high enough to raise PoPs this cycle. Temperatures will be at
or slightly above average.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term /through Sunday/...
As of 700 PM Saturday...Deteriorating conditions expected
tonight as the remnants of Nester approach NC late. Dry air over
the region early this evening is limiting precipitation
development but this will change after midnight as moisture
deepens and precipitation becomes more widespread and increases
in intensity. Expect Pred LIFR/IFR to develop 6-9Z and continue
into Sunday afternoon with the widespread precipitation. The
rain should taper off in the mid to late afternoon as the low
moves off of the coast but lingering low level moisture is
likely to support sub VFR ceilings into Sunday evening.
Additionally, a strong LLJ will bring LLWS into the forecast for
the early morning hours Sunday. Some LLWS will be possible
early Sunday morning. Gusty southerly winds to 20 kt are
expected Sunday morning and afternoon.
Long Term /Sunday Night through Thursday/...
As of 400 PM Sat...VFR conditions prevail Monday before
deteriorating ahead of an approaching cold front Tuesday with
increasing rain chances. High pressure quickly builds in behind
the cold front Wednesday ushering in VFR conditions for the
remainder of the period.
&&
.MARINE...
Short Term /Tonight and Sunday/...
As of 700 PM Saturday...As Post-tropical Cyclone Nestor quickly
accelerates through the South Carolina tonight, marine
conditions will quickly deteriorate. Gale Warnings are in effect
for all but the inland waters for 25-35 knot sustained winds
with occasional gusts as high as 40 knots. Seas will build to as
high as 12-14 feet late tonight and early tomorrow as the
storms impacts peak over our area. Winds and seas will slowly
start to diminish late Sunday afternoon as the low moves
offshore, but SCA's for winds and rough seas are likely to
continue into Monday.
Long Term /Sunday Night through Thursday/...
As of 400 PM Sat...A northerly surge of 20-25 knots is forecast
across all the waters through Monday morning as the low lifts
away from the area, with winds diminishing below 20 knots by
midday Monday. Seas will remain at or above 6 feet through
Monday night. Winds become southerly Tuesday at around 15-20
knots ahead of an approaching cold front, becoming northwesterly
at 10-15 knots behind the front on Wednesday. Seas are
currently not forecast to exceed SCA criteria with a peak height
of 5 feet expected Tuesday afternoon, slowly diminishing to
around 2 feet by the end of the period.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 425 PM Sat...A fast moving but powerful low pressure
system will approach the area late tonight then cross the region
Sunday. Minor inundation of 1-2 ft above ground in very low-
lying areas north of Cape Hatteras adjacent to the Pamlico Sound
is possible Sunday afternoon through early evening. Minor beach
erosion is expected from late tonight into early Sunday
evening. Locations in which dune structures were weakened during
Hurricane Dorian or last week's Nor'easter will be especially
vulnerable to additional minor flooding.
