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

* WHAT...Strong longshore currents in the surf zone.

* WHERE...The beaches from Cape Hatteras to Surf City.

* WHEN...Through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Strong longshore currents will create dangerous 
  swimming conditions.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many
cases, the longshore current is strong enough to prevent swimmers
from being able to keep their feet on the bottom making it
difficult to return to shore.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM SUNDAY TO 6 AM EDT
THURSDAY...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, 2 to 4 feet of inundation
  above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines
  and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking
  waves of 10 to 15 feet expected in the surf zone. For the Beach
  Hazards Statement, strong longshore currents in the surf zone
  south of Cape Hatteras.

* WHERE...Oceanside Hatteras Island, north of Cape Hatteras.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 2 PM Sunday to 6 AM 
  EDT Thursday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, until 8 PM EDT 
  this evening.

* IMPACTS...Up to 2 to 4 feet of inundation above ground level is
  possible in some areas near shorelines and tidal waterways
  resulting in a significant threat to life and property. 
  Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property including 
  homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure will be 
  inundated. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and 
  shoreline erosion will occur. Strong longshore currents will 
  create dangerous swimming conditions.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This will be a long duration event with
  conditions deteriorating Sunday afternoon and peaking Monday
  through Wednesday, then gradually improving late in the week.
  The greatest threat of ocean overwash and inundation will occur
  around the times of high tide. Dune erosion will be progressive
  and overwash will likely be worse with each successive high
  tide.
 
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.

Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
802 PM EDT Fri May 6 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A set of cold fronts will cross the area tonight and Saturday
night as low pressure passes just north or through the area,
strengthening offshore. This low will linger offshore for
several days early to middle of next week, bringing the
potential for significant coastal hazards.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 745 PM Friday...First round of convection has moved north
of the Albemarle Sound for the most part but still seeing
isolated storms developing along a convergence zone just west of
the CWA and moving into far NW sections. Another round of
storms is lifting north of the NC/SC border and will move into
the area mid to late evening. The main severe threat for these
storms are damaging winds and large hail but cannot rule out an
isolated tornado and will continue the Tornado Watch through 10
PM.

Previous discussion...Latest analysis shows broad surface
troughing deepening to the lee of the southern Appalachians with
a surface warm front draped through eastern NC (about Kinston
to Oregon Inlet). Along and south of the front, boundary-layer
moistening with surface dew points now in the upper 60s to low
70s looks to be contributing to SB CAPE values around 3-4000
J/kg with bulk shear 30-40 kt. Aided by ascent driven low-level
warm advection, thunderstorm development will likely focus along
and immediately north of the warm front through the next few
hours, where deep- layer shear is becoming sufficient for
supercell development. Radar shows convection quickly blossoming
across the coastal plain this afternoon near the warm front.
Low level flow remains backed across the coastal plain with low
level helicity values increasing. Will likely have a brief lull
this evening, then as the warm front continues to move northward
and out of our area late this evening, another line of storms
is expected to move in from the WSW and then potentially
strengthening later into the overnight hours as it moves through
the forecast area ahead of the cold front. For this second
round of storms, shear and helicity will remain in place but
instability will be weakening with loss of diurnal heating.
Strong to severe storm threat will continue with localized heavy
downpours possible. Convection will push off the coast late
tonight and early Sat morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
As of 3 PM Fri...Upper low tracks over the Mid-Atlantic as the
attendant surface low undergoes a Miller Type-B-esque transition,
strengthening off the Carolina coast and undergoing modest
deepening beginning Saturday night. Weak cold front will push
across the area Saturday afternoon and evening, with numerous
showers and tstms developing. Severe threat is low as
instability will limited, but a stronger storm or two cannot be
ruled during the afternoon. Low level thickness values support
highs in the mid 70s to low 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 3 AM Fri...Stacked low pressure crossing the eastern US
will move off the coast into Sunday morning, lingering offshore
into the middle of next week and bringing several coastal
hazards. The low weakens as general troughing develops over the
Southeast later next week.

Sunday through Thursday...A diffluent blocking pattern will
develop Sunday through early next week, with stacked low
pressure lingering off the NC coast for the better part of 4
days. Inland ridging has trended stronger in the last couple of
model cycles, resulting stronger winds and CAA over ENC, with
below normal temps at least through Wednesday. Mid- level
subsidence limits precip chances, but a cool, moist marine layer
trapped below the strong subsidence inversion could bring
drizzle or light rain and generally dreary conditions mainly to
coastal areas for much of the first half of the week, with more
sunshine and drier conditions inland.

The most significant concern (by far) during this time as the
potential for developing large swell and strong N to NE winds to
bring ocean overwash and powerful surf to the Outer Banks, with
soundside coastal flooding also possible. See the TIDES/COASTAL
FLOODING section below for more information.

Thursday and Friday...The low will slide southward off the
Southeast coast Thursday, then potentially retrograde back over
land by Friday. This will bring the potential for WAA and a more
unsettled pattern late in the week, but with the silver lining
that it will allow local winds and swell to diminish. Temps
return near to above normal late week.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Saturday/...
As of 730 PM Friday...Pred VFR conditions expected through much
of the period outside of showers and tstms. A second round of
showers and storms will move across rtes mid to late evening
with brief sub-VFR possible along with the possibility of strong
wind gusts, large hail, with an isolated tornado possible.
Southerly winds will gusts up to 15-25 kt through much of the
overnight. VFR conditions expected for most of Sat, with
increasing precip chances late afternoon and evening ahead of a
cold front, which will push through during the afternoon and
evening.

LONG TERM /Saturday night through Wednesday/...
As of 310 AM Fri...Sun-VFR conditions could prevail through the
first half of next week as this low lingers offshore, with the
greatest changes for prolonged flight restrictions further east
(EWN), and less certainty further west (ISO, PGV, OAJ).

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Saturday/...
As of 745 PM Fri...Latest obs show sly winds 15-25 kt with seas
around 2 ft north of Cape Hatteras and 3-5 ft south. SCA
continues for most waters except the inland rivers for similar
winds and seas building to 4-7 ft. Cold front and weak low will
move through the waters late Sat afternoon and evening. Moderate
to gusty SW winds 15-25 kt will continue ahead of the front
Sat, strongest south of Hatteras. Seas will linger at 3-5 ft
north of Oregon Inlet and 4-6 ft south.

LONG TERM /Saturday night through Wednesday/...
As of 3 PM Fri...Strong winds and dangerous seas expected for
much of the period. N winds develop behind this cold front
Saturday night, becoming strong through the day Sunday, with
Gales likely at least for the coastal waters and sounds later
Sunday all the way through Tuesday as low pressure persists
offshore and ridging strengthens inland. Issued Gale watches for
the coastal waters north of Lookout and the sounds. With a
large and close fetch of strong NW winds, seas will become
unmanageable Sunday, especially north and east of the Capes,
with seas peaking at a very dangerous 10-15+ ft Tuesday.
Conditions gradually improve beginning Wednesday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 3 PM Fri...Low pressure will move off the Carolina coast
late Saturday into Sunday, parking there through the first half
of next week. A strong gradient on the NW side of this low will
bring large/powerful and notably prolonged NE swell to area
beaches. Current expectations of 10-15+ ft seas and 12 second
swell period would likely bring significant beach erosion and
ocean overwash to portions of the Outer Banks, especially north
of Cape Hatteras, late Sunday through at least Tuesday night.
Large powerful surf and strong rip currents are certain for much
of the Outer Banks as well.

Additionally, the strong swell could bring increased tide
levels and dangerous conditions near inlets through much of the
next week, and a prolonged period of N to NE gales could bring
minor coastal flooding across the southern Pamlico Sound and
lower Neuse River early next week.
