...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS
MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING...

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

* WHERE...For the high rip current threat, the beaches from Cape
  Hatteras to Bogue Inlet. For the longshore currents, beaches
  from Cape Hatteras to Cape Lookout and beaches from Beaufort
  Inlet to Bogue Inlet.

* WHEN...From 8 AM EDT this morning through 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 1:20 PM Tuesday.

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
759 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Another round of strong to severe storms is possible late
tonight and early Tuesday morning. The unsettled pattern will
continue through midweek, keeping rain and strong to severe
thunderstorms in the forecast. A front will push into the area
Wednesday, and stalling near the coastal plain through late
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 330 PM Mon...Broad upper low continues to meander its way
across the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes this morning leaving
much of the Gulf States and Carolinas under zonal flow in which
subtle shortwaves traverse. This pattern will gradually become
more cyclonic as upper low gradually lifts into eastern Canada,
and by Tue morning trough axis will be squarely over the
Midwest. At the surface, stalled frontal boundary to the west,
keeping ENC firmly in the warm sector.

Isolated to widely sct showers and thunderstorms developing
early this afternoon, aided by sea/sound breezes and lingering
outflow boundaries. Instability and shear continue to look much
weaker than past few days, although an iso strong storm with
gusty winds still possible with DCAPEs around 1000 J/kg.
This convection will likely wane with loss of heating this
evening. Attention then turns to a potential renewal of
convective development after midnight as remnant circulations
from prior activity in GA/SC lifts northeastward towards the
region overnight and early Tue morning ahead of the main cold
front, currently moving into the TN/OH valley region. Almost
every CAM depicts at least some iso shower and tstorm activity
over ENC after midnight as 850 mb LLJ strengthens to nearly 40
kt. All guidance shows the most robust activity developing in
tandem with a mesoscale feature lifting towards the southern
coast early Tues AM. Where this tracks remains uncertain and
we'll have to watch its evolution this afternoon, but assuming
CAMS are right areas most favored to see early morning storms
will be along the Crystal Coast and the Outer Banks.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
As of 330 PM Mon...Upper low will continue to meander through
the Great Lakes and southern Canada, while shortwave energy
rotates through the base of the trough. Cyclonic flow develops
across the Carolinas while sfc front pushes towards the
Appalachians. Main challenge will be the convective potential.
If MCV moves through early Tue morning, it could impact
afternoon and evening re-development, which 12z CAMs show
varying solutions. Area remains outlooked in a Marginal Risk. ML
CAPE values 1-2000 J/kg, and deep layer shear 25-35 kt support
the risk for scattered tstm development. A few iso strong storms
possible, with the main threat of damaging wind gusts. Low
level thickness values and pc to mc skies will keep temps near
normal, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 3 AM Monday...

Key Messages:

- Unsettled weather will continue through the long term

An upper low will dig across southern Canada through Wednesday with
multiple embedded shortwave troughs tracking across ENC. Front
will slowly work towards the CWA and start to cross on
Wednesday. The environment will be conducive to support a few
strong thunderstorms Wednesday with 1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE.
PWATs in the 1.5-2" range will pose a threat for locally heavy
rainfall as well.

By late week, upper ridging builds in across the southeastern US,
bringing in broad subsidence aloft. At the surface, however, the
aforementioned front will stall across the area through Friday. This
boundary, plus the sound and sea breezes, will keep showers and
thunderstorms in the forecast through the end of the week.

The weekend looks even more unsettled as we regain upper level
support with multiple shortwaves crossing the area and the stalled
front finally pushing offshore.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Tuesday/...
As of 800 PM Mon...Pred VFR conditions expected outside of
convection with a period of MVFR conditions possible overnight.
Isolated showers have developed over parts of the western
forecast area as of 8 PM, which may bring a light rain shower
to ISO through 01Z (lower confidence that these showers reach
PGV). A stronger cluster of thunderstorms is ongoing farther
southwest. Expectation is for this cluster to weaken over the
next couple of hours with the loss of heating as it moves
eastward towards the forecast area, but given uncertainty in
longevity of this complex, have kept PROB30s in the TAFs for
OAJ/ISO through 04Z.

More scattered shower and thunderstorm activity is possible
after 06z as remnant MCVs from upstream convection in GA/SC lift
towards the region. CAMs continue to show varying solutions on
how convection evolves, with best chances late tonight and early
Tue morning, especially along the southern coast. As usual,
thunderstorms impacting terminals may bring brief periods of
lower cigs and significant visibility reductions in heavy
rainfall. A few storms could be severe with an isolated risk of
strong wind gusts exceeding 40 kt. MCVs are also expected to
bring in a period of MVFR conditions late tonight as low stratus
builds in.

As showers/thunderstorms push offshore tomorrow morning and low
stratus mixes out, VFR conditions are expected to return to all
terminals by mid-morning. Additional convective development is
then expected Tuesday afternoon/evening; however, confidence is
low in timing and placement as this will be dependent on the
evolution of overnight showers and thunderstorms. This will be
monitored for future TAF cycles. Outside of convection, expect
gusty southwesterly winds tomorrow.

LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
As of 415 AM Monday...Unsettled conditions will prevail through
the period, keeping showers and thunderstorms in the forecast
each day. Expect periods of sub- VFR flight cats with gusty
winds and locally heavy rainfall.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Tuesday/...
As of 330 PM Mon...Latest obs show SW winds 10-20 kt with seas
3-5 ft. SW flow will increase to 15-25 kt gusting 25-30 kt this
evening and overnight with seas building to 4-8 ft (highest
south of Hatteras). Gusty SW winds will continue Tue. SCAs
continue for the coastal waters, Pamlico/Croatan/Roanoke Sounds
into Tue evening. Convective activity will likely increase
overnight into Tuesday AM, with best chances across Onslow and
Raleigh Bays. Additional tstms will be possible Tue afternoon
and evening across the waters.

LONG TERM /Tuesday night though Saturday/...
As of 420 AM Monday...From Wednesday forward, winds will be
light and generally out of the SW with 2-4 ft seas. Showers and
thunderstorms will be possible each day.
