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 25, 12:50 PM EST, 2 hours 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 25, 12:50 PM EST, 2 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
1250 PM EST Thu Feb 25 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure building in from the north will bring breezy winds to
the waters today, moderating tonight. Developing low pressure will
impact the Southeast coast later Friday into the weekend with
unsettled weather.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 11 AM Thursday...The weak cold front crossed the area
quickly this morning, and has now pushed well offshore. Post-
frontal CAA is the strongest along coastal areas, especially the
OBX as localized high pressure develops over the Mid-Atlantic
coast. Breezy N to NE winds will limit warming along the coast
through the rest of the morning despite mostly sunny skies, but
weaker CAA inland will allow temps to continue to climb several
more degrees from their current lower to mid 60s marks.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
As of 355 AM Thursday...Temperatures will be cooler tonight with
northeast flow leading to lows tonight mainly in the upper 30s
to lower 40s area-wide. Clouds will increase late as moisture is
drawn slowly north into the Carolinas from the Gulf of Mexico as
the next system starts to take shape over the Deep South.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 3 AM Thu...Fairly unsettled through the long term period with
above normal temps expected overall.

Friday...Most of the day will feature dry conditions on breezy
northeast winds. It will be quite a bit cooler than the last several
days, but still only slightly below normal for late Feb. Transitory
high pres will be sliding east through the Mid Atlantic states
through the day, which will be followed by inc WAA aloft as H85mb
flow strengthens through the second half of the day. This will
produce an inc and lowering of a stratus cloud deck through the day,
with isentropic lift producing light rain showers breaking out later
in the afternoon. Think wrn sections, esp the srn Coastal Plains
towards the Crystal Coast, will see rain break our before the dinner
hour, so have pops inc to likely here after 21z, while nrn/ern
sections may stay completely dry until after dark, and hence only
chc pops in the fcst. Highs will generally be in the low/mid 50s.

Friday Night...High confidence in widespread shra as PW's maxing out
at 1.25-1.5" prior to midnight as weak low develops and moves
through the ctrl Carolinas. Non-diurnal temps curve expected as
nerly to erly winds early in the evening become srly during the
evening and overnight, with low temps around 50 early, rising
through the 50s overnight. Pops diminish after midnight s to n as
area becomes entrenched in the warm sector and widespread uvv lifts
north of the region.

Saturday through Sunday...A dry and warm forecast on tap as upr
ridging envelops the sern CONUS. 582 dm heights translate to highs
well above climo, with readings in the low/mid 70s Sat, climbing to
the mid/upr 70s Sun. Temps near the coast will naturally be much
cooler due to the still cold water temps, so will remain in the 60s.
Low temps also very warm, in the 50s. Have dropped pops to slght
chc, as appearing shower chcs very slim due to the upr ridging in
place and frontal boundary residing north of the VA/NC border.

Monday...Next good rain chc arrives to start the work week, as model
guid in good agreement on next progressive shortwave swinging
through the Mid Atlantic and northeast, pushing the
aforementioned stalled frontal bndry to the north, southward
through ENC. Raised pops to likelies on Mon due to the good
agreement amongst 25/00Z model suite.

Tuesday through Wednesday...Models diverge greatly during this
period, as latest GFS keeps front well south of ENC and hence dry
and cool, while ECM, which has support from the UKMET/CMC, brings
next system across the southern states and Mid Atlantic on an active
subtropical jet, and therefore next good chc of rain. Based on ECM
ens mean, NBM, WPC, have raised pops to low range chc this period.
Temps near climo this period, with highs 55-60 and lows in the upper
30s to low 40s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Short Term /through Friday/...
As of 1230 PM Thu...A few mid level clouds will linger into the
evening, with otherwise clear skies and light to moderate
northerly wind. Light winds should persist through the early
morning hours, limiting any fog threat. Moisture will begin to
advect over the drier boundary layer Friday, with VFR stratus
increasing in coverage through the morning. Sub-VFR stratus is
expected to hold off until later in the day Friday, as light
rain chances will begin to arrive in the forecast.

Long Term /Friday night through Tuesday/...
As of 3 AM Thu...IFR likely on Fri night in showers and low
cigs as low pres moves through the region. A return to VFR Sat
through Sun as high pres will be in control. Next cold front
moves through Monday with yet another good chc of rain showers
and sub VFR conditions.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /Today and Tonight/...
As of 1100 AM Thursday...Post-frontal Nrly surge is showing
early indications of being in line with stronger guidance, and
have opted to go ahead and initiate SCAs for the Pamlico Sound
and coastal waters south of Oregon Inlet through the afternoon
with gusts to 25 to 30 kt expected. Elsewhere, 15 to 20 kt with
occasional gusts to 25 kt possible, so no SCA for now.

Seas build to 3-5 feet later today and tonight as high pressure
building in from the north keep N/NE winds 15-20 knots in place.

Long Term /Friday through Tuesday/...
As of 3 AM Thu...Generally poor boating conditions through the long
term as several low pressure systems and fronts impact the waters and
sounds. Inc northeast winds on Friday may lead to marginal SCA
conditions met, esp ctrl and srn waters as gradient will be
pinched here with sustained winds approaching 20 kt or higher.
Later shifts may need to issue SCA. Better chc of SCA on Friday
night as low pres lifts north through the Carolinas, bringing
strong onshore winds from the southeast and seas building 6-8 ft
or higher. Winds turn SW on Sat and diminish to around 15 kt
with seas subsiding as well. Winds remain swrly but may inc a
bit to 15-20 on Sun with SCA possible again Sun night as winds
inc further to 20-25 kt ahead of next cold front that pushes
through on Mon. Winds turn N to NE Mon night into Tue and may
remain in the SCA range.
