...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM TO 11 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, Strong north to south
  longshore current. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one 
  foot of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying 
  areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...Coastal Pender and Coastal New Hanover Counties.

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, until 8 PM EDT this 
  evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 6 PM to 11 PM 
  EDT this evening.

* IMPACTS...Low-lying roads and locations along the Intracoastal 
  Waterway and adjacent tidal creeks may observe minor coastal 
  flooding. Check with local officials for any road closures or 
  impacts. Longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers 
  into rip currents, piers, jetties, and other hazardous areas. 
  It may sweep swimmers off their feet, making it difficult to 
  return to shore.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Affected areas listed are based on 
  average tide conditions. Additional locations may experience 
  flooding during periods of heavy rainfall, high winds, or 
  other factors.

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.

Caution should be used when in or near the water. Check with
lifeguards before entering the ocean for possible hazards you may
be swept into.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
411 AM EDT Mon May 26 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak low pressure along a nearly stationary front will move
across the area through Monday. The front will push to our south
where it will remain until low pressure drags it back north on
Wednesday. The front will then move offshore Thursday night
into Friday. Hot, mostly dry conditions are expected behind the
front.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Messages/Highlights:
*Unsettled at times due to lingering front
*Below normal temps

Confidence:
*High regarding below normal temps and above normal rain chances
*Low to Moderate regarding temps and rain probs/timing

Details: A rather stationary front and weak area of low pressure
will linger across the area this morning before shifting more south
as high pressure builds in from the north later today. Conditions
will remain rather cloudy and unsettled at times though through the
period due to abundant moisture, low-level isentropic ascent and mid-
level energy continuing to affect the area. Mainly low levels of
instability are expected, especially offshore and near coastal
portions of SC later this morning through the afternoon. Although
there may be gale force wind gusts and/or a waterspout offshore we
are not expecting severe storms over land. Rainfall amounts should
generally be about a quarter to half inch or less, although locally
higher amounts of 1-2+" can't completely be ruled out, especially in
SC. The clouds and developing NE winds will keep temps below normal,
 although there is some uncertainty in their exact values as much
depends on how many breaks in the clouds develop. The coolest temps
should be in NC where we are forecasting lower to mid 70s most spots
farther to the north and west with upper 70s to lower 80s to the
south and east, generally near and south of
Wilmington/Whiteville/Florence.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Have continued lower high temperatures on Tuesday due to CAD from
high pressure ridging down from the north. Due to the lower
temperatures, have also decreased mentions of thunder outside of
peak heating hours, particularly for our far inland areas.
Meanwhile, the stationary front should remain to our south until
it's dragged north by passing low pressure on Wednesday. PWATs will
be 1.5-2" through the period supporting moderate to heavy rain, but
the low instability Tuesday should keep severe weather at bay.
Wednesday a wave of bulk shear around 30 kts will push through in
the afternoon which could support isolated storm organization, but
again instability will be the limiting factor. For now best chances
would be near the coast and NE SC where we'll see more warming.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Instability looks to increase for late week as a storm system builds
to our west, the stalled front still in our vicinity. This system's
cold front should push the stalled front offshore for the weekend,
but we may not see much in terms of "cold" as temperatures remain
largely in the 80s through the period. Drier mid-level air should
start to move in Saturday along with high pressure, but low-level
moisture remains to where we could see lingering showers. The end of
the period should see mostly dry conditions as the column dries out
further.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High confidence in restrictions much of the 06Z TAF period
across SE NC and NE SC as a front and area of low pressure waver
across the area. However, confidence is lower regarding
timing/severity of such restrictions. Generally VFR to MVFR
across the region to start the period with deteriorating
conditions generally expected the rest of the period as
plentiful low-level moisture gets trapped near the surface due
to building high pressure to the north later today/tonight.
Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms will also impact the
terminals with IFR conditions most likely inland at KFLO/KLBT
through this AM, then low to moderate chances across most of
the area tonight.

Extended Outlook...Confidence is high in potential for IFR/MVFR
at times through Friday. Best chances look to be late Tuesday
night through Thursday night, although confidence is low. The
location of the stalled front and surface waves along the front
will be key in determining when IFR/MVFR conditions occur.

&&

.MARINE...
Through Tonight...Moderate to high confidence this period. A
lingering front will eventually push south of the area later today
and tonight as high pressure builds to the north. This will lead to
more variable winds to start the period before strengthening winds
occur out of the northeast. This will cause frequent gusts to near
25 kt and seas up to near 6 ft north of Cape Fear and thus we have
raised a Small Craft Advisory for the Pender/New Hanover County
coastal waters out to 20 NM.

Tuesday through Thursday...The stationary front should remain to our
south Tuesday before being dragged north along the coast by low
pressure Wednesday, lingering through Thursday. For this reason, it
will be hard to rule out showers and storms over the waters during
the period, especially during the daytime hours. SW flow building
around 10=15 kts will prevail with seas generally 2-4 ft.
