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 May 7, 12:44 AM EDT, 2 hours 7 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 7, 12:44 AM EDT, 2 hours 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
1244 AM EDT Fri May 7 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak low pressure will develop along a front stalled to our
south tonight and Friday. The low will lift northeast offshore
late Friday. High pressure will build across this weekend with
another frontal system expected early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
As of 1235 AM Fri...Isold shra over srn tier have dissipated
and lowered or removed pops for bulk of the overnight hrs.

Prev disc...A few isolated showers persist along a quasi-
stationary 850mb moisture boundary over southeast NC late this
evening. Expect this activity to wane through the rest of the
evening, though a couple of showers through the early morning
hours mainly along the coast south of Cape Hatteras can't be
ruled out. Otherwise, stratus clouds persist, especially south
of US Hwy 264, with lows mainly several degrees below normal.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TODAY/...
As of 250 PM Thursday...Confidence is increasing for some much
needed rain, especially over the southern coastal zones for
Friday. As surface low pivots northeast just offshore along
stalled frontal boundary, most all of the high-resolution
models including the 3km NAM, NSSL WRF and HRRR are showing
widespread convective showers along with some isolated
thunderstorms. Steep lapse rates coupled with 25-30 knots of
effective shear could lead to some strong to marginally severe
storms with brief wind gusts and hail being the primary threats.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed a portion of our CWA in a
Marginal (level 1/5) threat for severe weather tomorrow. The
high-res models show convective rain elements that could
produce some needed downpours for the area, especially the
southern zones and QPF totals of upwards of one-half inch are
forecast. Have increased PoPs to likely for most of the area
Friday, especially from midday into late afternoon. High
temperatures will be in the upper 60s north to low/mid 70s
elsewhere tomorrow.

&&

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 305 AM Thu...The weekend appears dry before the next
frontal system impacts the area Monday through the rest of the
period.

Friday night...Clearing skies overnight and CAA behind the
departing low point to abnormally cool lows in the mid 40s.

Saturday and Sunday...High pressure builds in from the southwest
for the weekend ushering in dry and moderating conditions.
Temperatures climb into the low to mid 70s Saturday, followed by
upper 70s to low 80s by Sunday with increasing southwesterly
flow. With approach of next front late Sunday winds will
increase overnight Sunday with breezy conditions forecast for
OBX.

Monday through Wednesday...Guidance in reasonable agreement next
front will approach the Carolinas Monday morning and cross the
CWA late in the day, bringing an increased chance of showers and
storms. Hesitant to introduce likely PoPs at this point as
frontal passage timing has varied a bit from run to run. For
now, will keep high-end chance mention. Front stalls over the
Gulf States Tue-Wed with weak high pressure attempting to build
in from the north before another wave of low pressure develops
along the boundary midweek bringing a renewed chance for
precipitation.

Highs Monday will be the highest of the long term reaching into
the mid 80s, before falling back into the low 70s for the
remainder of the week with lows in the 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /Through Tonight/...
As of 1235 AM Fri...Mostly VFR thru period however could see a
few pds of sub VFR late morn thru aftn as sct to numerous shra
and isold tsra cross. Sct to bkn clouds rest of the night then
expect widespread clouds from mid morn thru late aftn with cigs
mainly in the 5000 thsd ft range outside of convection. Best chc
for convection looks to be late morn thru mid to late aftn as
weak sfc low crosses ahead of a mid lvl short wave. Clouds
expected to sct out late today into the evening as drier air
spreads in as sfc low departs. NW winds will become gusty late
today thru early evening espcly closer to cst.

LONG TERM /Sat through Tuesday/...
As of 305 AM Thu...High pressure builds back thru the weekend
and early next week with VFR conditions returning.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /Tonight and Friday/...
As of 10 PM Thursday...Light to moderate NW flow persists across
the waters, with weak troughing along the coast and ridging
inland. Over the waters south of Cape Lookout, winds will veer
to more SW by morning in response to surface low to our south
moving offshore. All winds speeds Friday will be 5-15 knots with
seas 2-4 feet.

LONG TERM /Fri Night through Tuesday/...
As of 315 AM Thu...Coastal low developing off the coast Friday
will lifting north of the area Friday night. The Euro is a
happy medium between all guidance and leaned the forecast
heavily in its direction. This results in a forecast for SCA to
develop and spread across all waters by Saturday morning with
winds 20-25 kt. The window will be small and expect seas to
build to predominantly 3-5 feet, although a few 6 footers are
possible well offshore.

High pressure builds south of the waters later Saturday and
Sunday with improving conditions, with next potential concern
being late Sunday and Monday as southwesterly winds increase
ahead of an approaching cold front. Winds increase to 20-25 kt
for coastal waters and Pamlico Sound, aiding in seas surging to
a peak of 6-8 feet.
