What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Newport/Morehead City, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Feb 19, 3:30 PM EST, 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 19, 3:30 PM EST, 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
330 PM EST Tue Feb 19 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front will move into the area Wednesday. The front will
shift back south on Thursday into Thursday night, then back to
the north as a warm front this weekend, resulting in a
continued unsettled weather pattern through much of the period.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 3 PM Tue...Latest sfc analysis shows strong 1038mb high
pressure centered over the Great Lakes region this afternoon
extending into the Carolinas. Latest radar imagery shows light
patchy rain still spreading across the southern half of the area
this afternoon. High res guidance still having difficulties
with this. Increasing precip chances through the overnight
hours as isentropic lift increases and coastal trough develops
along the coast and low levels moisten. Not expecting any
p-type concerns, though could see a brief period of light sleet
mix in with rain for inland areas overnight. Though with ground
being very warm and light nature of precip not expecting any
sort of impacts if this does develop. Cloudy skies expected to
continue through the period. Expect a non-diurnal temp curve
overnight with lows in the 30s this evening, then warming
slightly into the upper 30s to lower 40s late tonight and Wed
morning, esp along the coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/...
As of 3 PM Tue...Complex pattern sets up across the area. High
pressure influencing the area from the north will continue to
weaken over the Carolinas as in-situ damming sets up. A weak
shortwave moves up the coast while a coastal trough/warm front
developing off the SE coast pushes onshore. Widespread light to
moderate rain expected Wed with good isentropic lift and deep
moisture in place. Will continue categorical to likely pops,
with precip tapering off late in the day from west to east. Temp
forecast will be tricky as well with wedge in place across the
inland areas. Highs likely only getting to around 50 deg inland
with E/NE winds and closer to 60 deg along the coast with winds
becoming SE/S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 330 PM Tue...Mostly unsettled weather expected through
the period, as a wavy front will linger across E NC through the
weekend. Dry high pressure finally makes an appearance by late
next weekend through early next week.

Wednesday night... As the shortwave moves off to the northeast
Wed night, PoPs will decrease from southwest to northeast.
Continued non- diurnal temp curve Wed night as all areas become
entrenched in the warm sector with temps warming through the 50s
and low 60s everywhere. Coolest area will be the coastal plain
where low clouds/FG/BR afflict the area. There may be sea fog
developing for coastal areas as well, as a warm and moist air
mass flows across the cooler shelf and sound waters.

Thursday through Friday...Tough forecast this period, as
wavering front will be nearby, and continued broad swrly winds
aloft will mean rain chances each period as rain will be
isentropically lifted. Deep moisture in place along with vort
lobe slowly sinking through the area will result in PoPs in the
good chance to likely categories. both days and during the
overnight periods.

Area will be in the warm sector Thu, and with low lvl
thicknesses soaring to around 1390M, highs expected to be in the
70s most areas, though cloud cover and areas of rain,
especially north, may keep temps in the 60s here. High temps
Friday appear to drop into the 50s as wavering front looks to
drop back south as a cold front. More unsettled weather in the
form of rain Friday, as 850MB front remains across the area,
leading to some decent isentropic lift continuing.

Saturday...Unsettled weather continues for Saturday, as the
next low pressure area/shortwave will swing through the Ohio
valley and bring lift/moisture through the region once again.
Temps warm into the 60s as warm front will be lifting through.

Sunday...Finally some drying on Sunday as area will be in warm
sector ahead of approaching cold front. Only chc rain showers at
this time, as best lift/moisture will be north and west of the
region. It appears to be a very warm day, as thicknesses soar to
aoa 1390M, suggestive of high temps in the 75-80 degree range
(65-70 beaches).

Monday through Tuesday...Dry high pres arrives on Monday, though
flow will be zonal, so expecting temps to remain above climo,
with 60s for highs generally. Tuesday may see the approach of
the next system in a continued active storm track, and have
introduced chc pops.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Short Term /through Wednesday/...
As of 1250 PM Tue...VFR conditions expected through 06z
tonight, then gradually deteriorating late tonight and
Wednesday. Clouds will grad lower tonight as isent lift
increases and expect sct rain to develop late, becoming
widespread Wednesday. High confidence in widespread sub-VFR
ceilings developing early Wednesday morning and continuing
through Wed. Very good chance for IFR ceilings Wed, with best
chances after 12z.

Long Term /Wednesday night through Sunday/...
As of 330 PM Tue...Sub-VFR conditions for most of the week in
an unsettled weather pattern, with good chances of rain each
period. Sunday will finally dry out with a return to VFR
expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Wednesday/...
As of 3 PM Tue...Latest obs show N/NE winds 15-25 kt with seas
4-6 ft, strongest winds continue south of Hatteras. SCA
continues for the coastal waters and Pamlico Sound. Extended SCA
for the northern waters through early this evening with seas
still hovering around 6 ft. A coastal front will move through
the waters late tonight and Wednesday. NE winds 15-25 kt tonight
becoming E/SE Wed, strongest winds still expected south of
Oregon Inlet. Wavewatch and NWPS show seas building to 5-8 ft
Wednesday. Will likely need another SCA for the northern waters
beginning late Wed afternoon with seas re-building to 4-6 ft in
increasing onshore flow.

Long Term /Wednesday night through Sunday/...
As of 330 PM Sat...Poor boating conditions forecast through
most of the period in unsettled weather pattern. SCA continues
Wed night into Thu in messy pattern with a front moving in from
the west. Flow becomes NE 15-20 kt on Friday as the front moves
to the south and becomes stationary, and high res wave guidance
indicating marginal brief 6 ft seas developing on the outer
ctrl/srn waters. Winds will veer to E and then eventually to S
on Saturday as coastal trof develops. Winds/seas forecast to
remain below SCA on Saturday, though strong cold front moves
through later Sunday, and SW winds expected to strengthen to
20-30 kt by Sun morning and build seas to 6+ ft.
