West Carteret-Coastal Onslow-
814 PM EDT Tue Sep 15 2020
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT HAS EXPIRED...
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one foot of
inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines
and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous
rip currents.
* WHERE...West Carteret and Coastal Onslow.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 9 PM EDT this
evening. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Wednesday
evening.
* IMPACTS...Up to 1 foot 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. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The most likely time for strong rip
currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide,
which will occur around 1:00 PM Wednesday.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.
Swim near a lifeguard. 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.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 13, 1:59 AM EDT, 2 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
159 AM EDT Sun Sep 13 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will ridge into the area from the northeast
through Sunday while a trough of low pressure remains off the
coast. A cold front will cross the area Monday followed by high
pressure building in from the northwest through Thursday.
Another cold front could approach the area late in the week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
As of 145 AM Sun...Ridging/CAD continues inland with an inverted
trough just off the coast. Moisture advection over the shallow
ridging will increase low level cloud cover through the night,
with a few light showers possible along the beaches where better
low level moisture exists. Lows will range from the mid to
upper 60s inland to low to mid 70s along the coast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
As of 3 PM Saturday...High pressure across the area weakens
Sunday but upper ridging will continue to bring subsidence aloft
serving to limit convection. Still, we could see isolated
showers or storms in the afternoon with more sunshine expected
allowing for greater instability in the afternoon...MLCAPE
peaking around 1000-1500 J/kg. Best chances will be across
southern coastal sections where the sea breeze may develop and
push inland allowing for best convergence with background
northerly flow. High expected in the mid 80s most areas.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 330 AM Sat...A cold front will cross the area Monday,
with high pressure building in from the north behind it keeping
settled and cooler weather through mid-week as Tropical Cyclone
Paulette passes well offshore. The next cold front will bring
rain chances back to the forecast late in the week into next
weekend.
Sunday Night...Mainly dry as isolated shower activity will be
confined to the proximity of the coastal trough offshore, with
only slight chance showers in the forecast near the beaches.
Lows will be near 70 away from the beaches, several degrees
above normal.
Monday and Monday night...Modest height falls aloft occur in
response to troughing developing across the Northeast. At the
surface, a cold front force primarily by strong high pressure
behind it will push through the Mid-Atlantic and toward eastern
NC during the day. Despite the lack of any significant pre-
frontal WAA, lingering low level moisture should be sufficient
to allow for scattered showers and possibly a few storms to
develop Monday afternoon. Most likely frontal timing looks to be
later Monday afternoon through Monday evening, with precip
chances ending with the passage of the front. Temps continue to
be several degrees above normal ahead of the front, with
CAA developing quickly behind the front Monday night.
Tuesday through Thursday...High pres building in from the NW
will lead to dry weather with cooler and noticeably less humid
air spreading in. Highs Tue and Wed will be in the upr 70s to
lower 80s, with low to mid 80s expected Thu. Will see lows drop
to around 60 inland Tue night, than a few degrees warmer Wed
night.
Friday into the weekend...High pressure slides off the Northeast
coast as the next cold front approaches Friday, with deeper
moisture returning. Look for unsettled weather Friday into the
weekend with increasingly warm and humid conditions.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term /through 06Z Mon/...
As of 130 AM Sun...MVFR stratus along the coast early this
morning will spread inland over the next several hours. Ceilings
will continue to lower with cooling as we approach dawn, and
several hours of IFR is expected as moisture overspreads surface
ridging/CAD. Timing of erosion of the surface ridge is
uncertain, but IFR is expected to persist into at least mid-
morning, with the potential for some locations to experience IFR
ceilings until midday, when improved mixing will result in the
lower cloud layer scattering out. VFR prevails by this
afternoon.
Long Term /Sunday night through Wednesday/...
As of 330 AM Sat...Ample low level moisture keep the threat for
nighttime/early morning stratus and patchy fog Monday. Drier
air works in behind front Tue with VFR expected to prevail.
&&
.MARINE...
Short Term /through Sunday/...
As of 1005 PM...Winds continue to weaken across the waters this
evening with weakening high pressure. Let the SCA for
Albemarle/Alligator/Roanoke and Croatan expire, and Pamlico and
Neuse/Bay rivers will likely follow suit at the top of the hour.
Prev disc...The front has pushed south of the waters with strong
CAA bringing NE flow around 15-25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt
across the waters and seas around 6-9 ft. The winds will
gradually diminish tonight as the high to the north weakens and
the trough offshore pushes toward the coast with seas subsiding
slightly...to around 4-7 ft. N to NE flow around 10-15 kt
expected Sunday with seas only gradually subsiding to 3-6 ft by
late afternoon.
Long Term /Sunday through Wednesday/...
As of 330 AM Sat...Northeast winds remain mainly light and at
times become variable as a coastal trough lingers just offshore
into Monday. Then, a cold front will cross later Monday, with
moderate to breezy northerly flow developing quickly behind it
Monday night. Expect winds to only gradually wane through
midweek, remaining N/NE as what is expected to become Hurricane
Paulette passes well offshore and high pressure ridges inland.
Swell from Paulette begins to arrive Monday, with seas building
in mainly long period swell through Tuesday, when they will
peak around 8-11 ft. The swell will only gradually subside
thorough the rest of the week as Paulette turns north the
northeastward. SCAs will remain in effect for the coastal waters
through duration of the hazardous seas caused by Paulette,
which is currently expected to be through at least Wednesday or
Thursday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 330 AM Sat...Gusty NE winds will develop along the coast
Tuesday as strong high pressure builds in from the north. That,
combined with increasing long period swell from distant
Hurricane Paulette, could result in several threats along the
coast. Some wave guidance indicates 8-10 ft seas every 13-15
seconds. Though still several days out, there is potential for
coastal flooding, ocean overwash, and rough surf along the coast
early to mid next week (especially north of Cape Lookout).
Dangerous rip currents will be likely all of next week. Please
continue to monitor the threat closely over the next several
days.
