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

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, Portuguese Man of War
  jellyfish are expected in the waters and on the shore. For the 
  High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents expected.

* WHERE...Coastal Brunswick County.

* WHEN...Through Friday evening.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
  from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Life threatening rip currents are likely 
  in the surf zone.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags, and
signs.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm,
do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If
you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and
back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim
directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

Also, lifeguard reports continue of Portuguese Man of War 
jellyfish in the waters, with some washing ashore. Avoid being 
stung.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
718 PM EDT Thu Jun 4 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Moisture from the south will begin to fuel scattered showers
and thunderstorms through Sunday. A cold front will cross the
coast late Sunday, bringing slightly cooler air into the region
Monday and Tuesday, with lower chances for showers and storms.
Rain chances increase by midweek as temperatures rise.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
One more dry aftn expected today before rain chances increase for
the remainder of the week. Moisture in both low and mid levels
increases this evening from S to N, and in tandem with increasing
mid-level shortwave energy approaching the area from the SW, will
lead to a good chance of shra/tstms especially over coastal areas
overnight through Fri morning. After potentially a brief break later
in the morning/midday Fri, with sfc dewpoints above 70 and weak
troughing aloft, environment is favorable for scattered aftn TSTMs.
Not expecting any severe wx due to weak parameters like shear.
Chances for rain then diminish through Fri night.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
The mid levels will feature a modest trough in place which has
an attendant cold front. This front will push south and east
offshore slowly through the period. The front will get active on
a daily basis with good chance pops Saturday and more modest
values Sunday. Highs will be in the middle to upper 80s Saturday
cooling slightly Sunday with overnight lows just a notch or two
above normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A highly amplified Omega pattern develops at the mid levels
through the period as what remains of Cristobal meshes with a
mid level trough across the upper Mississippi Valley. A deep
cutoff low will develop in the Atlantic leaving a sharp ridge in
between the aforementioned features. At the surface high
pressure anchored by the sharp ridge will be in control most of
the period from the northeast. The first couple of days should
be dry then pops inch back into the forecast as the long since
passed front drifts back to the north possibly reinforced late
by a front from a passing trough. Temperatures will be a little
on the cool side with the northeast flow but overall not much
deviation from normal.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR for much of the next 3 hours, then moisture increasing from the
south will help bring VCTS/VCSH and CB after closer to 03Z for SC
terminals and 06z for NC terminals. MVFR ceilings possible as
chances increase for thunderstorms and vicinity CB. Lingering MVFR
may continue after sunrise, but VFR returns Friday afternoon.

Extended Outlook...Increasing moisture will bring thunderstorms
Friday afternoon through mid week with varying flight restrictions.

&&

.MARINE...
SSW flow continues tonight through Fri night with high pressure
anchored well offshore. Speeds in the 10-15 kt range increase to 15-
20 kt Fri, with occasional gusts up to 25 kt especially over the NC
coastal waters. No swell component anticipated during this
timeframe, with just persistent 2-3 ft 4-5 second S waves tonight
increasing to 3-5 ft at 5-6 seconds Fri into Fri night.

A southwest flow on the higher end of a 10-15 knot range will
be in place Saturday and into early Sunday ahead of a front. The
front will basically drift across the waters Sunday leading to
erratic winds but still mostly southwest. Finally a northeast to
mostly easterly flow will develop and persist into next week.
The prolonged nature of the southwest fetch early may allow some
six foot seas to develop across the outer waters thus
representing the highest values of the period. Otherwise 2-4
feet seas will suffice.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
With full moon approaching Friday, minor flooding is forecasted
for the Downtown Wilmington Cape Fear River location with each
evening high tide this week.

&&

.ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
