...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and strong longshore currents in 
  the surf zone.

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

* WHEN...Until 8 PM EDT this evening.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away 
  from shore into deeper water. Strong longshore currents will 
  create dangerous swimming conditions.

* 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 12:30 PM today.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain
calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. 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. 

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.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
753 PM EDT Sun Jun 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Another round of strong to severe storms is possible through
this evening. The unsettled pattern will continue through
midweek, keeping rain and strong to severe thunderstorms in the
forecast.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 730 PM Sunday...

Key Messages:

- Severe thunderstorm risk appears to be decreasing for the
  remainder of the night

The MCS that impacted the southern half of our area earlier
today has since moved offshore, and has effectively worked over
the airmass in its wake. Because of this, it appears the
thunderstorm risk will remain low for the rest of the evening
and into the overnight hours, and the forecast has been adjusted
to reflect this expectation. The Severe Thunderstorm Watch has
been cancelled as well. Of note, some short term guidance show
some redevelopment overnight, but the lack of stronger moisture
advection across the region suggests instability should remain
at a minimum through the night, which should support the lowered
thunderstorm risk.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
As of 240 PM Sun...Area will remain in the warm sector again
Monday with cyclonic flow developing aloft as upper low moves
into the Great Lakes. Scattered diurnal showers and
thunderstorms expected to develop Monday afternoon and evening.
Expect less instability and shear than the past few days, so
expect coverage to remain more widely sct. Though isolated
strong to severe storms will be possible, with the main threat
again being damaging wind gusts, with greatest chances across
the coastal plain.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 430 AM Sunday...

Key Messages:

 - Unsettled weather will continue through much of the rest of
   the long term.

An upper low digs into the Great Lakes early next week with
cyclonic flow developing across the region and a series of
shortwave troughs advecting through the flow aloft keeping
showers and thunderstorms in the forecast through mid week. The
airmass remains moderately unstable with modest shear most days
and could see a few strong storms, especially during peak
heating. Best forcing comes Monday night through Tuesday as the
base of the upper trough swings trough the Mid-Atlantic
bringing favorable jet dynamics. Could see a few stronger
storms develop, especially through peak heating, and SPC has the
region in a marginal risk of severe Monday and Tuesday with
damaging wind gusts the primary threat. Persistent SW flow aloft
will bring a descent tropical moisture feed into the region
with PW values around 1.75-2", which is above the 90th
percentile for this time of year, keeping a threat for locally
heavy rainfall each day. Temps look to be a few degrees above
normal early to middle week.

The upper low lifts out late Wednesday with short wave ridging
briefly building in late in the week bringing broad subsidence
aloft and a relative minimum in precip chances. Still sufficient
moisture and instability for widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms during peak heating, especially along the
sea/sound breeze boundaries. Precip chances increase next
weekend as a shortwave trough pushes across the Mid-Atlantic
states. Above normal temps continue through the end of the week.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through 00z Tuesday/...
As of 730 PM Sunday...

Key Messages:

- TSRA possible Monday afternoon (20-40% chance)

Earlier TSRA have moved well offshore, leaving behind a much
more stable airmass across ENC. Despite another upper level
disturbance moving through tonight, it appears the lack of
appreciable instability, plus drier air aloft, should keep the
TSRA risk much lower overnight. The background southwesterly
flow is expected to steadily return through tonight, and the
expectation is that this will keep the risk of BR/FG low, even
for areas that saw appreciable rainfall today.

On Monday, isolated to scattered TSRA may develop along the
seabreeze during the afternoon hours, and I've added a PROB30
group for OAJ and EWN where the risk appears the highest.
Elsewhere, the better chance of TSRA looks to hold off until
just after the current 00z TAF cycle. Where TSRA occur on
Monday, there will be an accompanying risk of sub-VFR VIS and
CIGs.

LONG TERM /Monday night through Friday/...
As of 415 AM Sunday...An unsettled pattern will prevail through
much of the long term keeping periods of showers and
thunderstorms bringing periods of sub-VFR conditions across the
region. There will also be the threat for late night/early
morning fog each day as well.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Monday/...
As of 730 PM Sunday...

Showers and thunderstorms have shifted further out to sea, and
the risk of thunderstorms looks to remain lower through the
remainder of the night. In the wake of the earlier
thunderstorms, the background southwesterly flow should steadily
build through the night as the gradient re-tightens.

LONG TERM /Monday night though Friday/...
As of 430 AM Sunday...SW winds around 10-20 kt expected to
prevail through the day Monday with strongest winds during
afternoon when the diurnal thermal gradient is the tightest and
could see a few gusts to around 25 kt. Another cold front
approached from the NW Monday night and Tuesday serving to
tighten the gradient a bit more and could see low end SCA
conditions develop with SW winds around 15-25 kt, especially
across the coastal waters south of Oregon Inlet and the Pamlico
Sound. Seas generally around 3-5 ft Monday, then up to 7 ft seas
across the southern/central waters on Tuesday. S to SW winds
expected to relax Wednesday to around 10-15 kt with seas
subsiding to 2-4 ft.
