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 3:30 PM Tuesday.
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.
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.
Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. It is
extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you
are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at
all times.
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.

MartinWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement 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 beach hazards statement went out at Sep 8, 7:32 PM EDT, 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 7:32 PM EDT, 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
732 PM EDT Mon Sep 8 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build in from the north with a front stalled
offshore early this week. A shortwave moves across the area
with a surface low lifting along a stalled front offshore mid-
week bringing heavy rain chances along the coast. High pressure
builds in again for the end of the work week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 730 PM Mon...Tonight, clouds should stick around along
the coast, while the coastal plain remains mostly clear. Despite
cloud cover, temps will drop into the low 60s inland aided by
CAA, but remain in the upper 60s to low 70s along the coast.
Conditions will remain windy across the area with winds of 10-15
mph inland and 20-30 mph along the coast and OBX. Gusts
expected to die down across the inland regions, but should
remain elevated (30-35 mph along the OBX).
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
As of 3 PM Mon...A stalled front will remain off the NC coast
tomorrow, and along the front a weak low will form east of the
Outer Banks. This will shift the flow to be more northerly, and
the added upper level shortwave energy should make for a
cloudier, but still mostly dry day. A few isolated showers could
move onshore across the Outer and Inner Banks late in the day
as the front wobbles closer to the shore, but areas farther
inland will remain dry. With greater cloud cover expected,
temperatures should be a few degrees cooler than today, and
remain mostly in the mid to upper 70s.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 3 PM Monday...
Key Messages
- Cooler, drier conditions this week
- Coastal trough lingers, best chances of rain Tue and Wed
along OBX
- Dry end to the week as high pressure builds again
Front remains stalled along the Gulf Stream through the long
term. NE flow behind the front as high pressure over the NE
builds into the region, bringing a stretch of drier, and cooler
conditions inland. A slightly stronger shortwave looks to move
through along the coastal trough Tuesday into Wednesday. This
will bring the best chances of showers reaching the coast,
especially OBX where PoPs are highest. After the shortwave moves
through, original high pressure over the NE gets pushed towards
the Canadian Maritimes, and a second high builds in from the
Great Lakes region. some indications of a weak low forming
along the stalled front/coastal trough off the FL/GA/SC coast
this coming weekend into early next week as a deep positively
tilted trough moves through. It is too soon to tell what
impacts, if any, are expected with very low confidence on the
timing, track, and intensity of the low should it form.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through 00Z Wednesday/...
As of 730 PM Mon...VFR conditions persist for all TAF sites
with some MVFR ceilings lingering along the coast across the OBX
and portions of the Pamlico Sound with a stalled front located
just offshore. Conditions are expected to change minimally
through early tonight with VFR expected inland, and MVFR
continuing along the immediate coast. Conditions may briefly
improve along the coast overnight as low clouds temporarily
clear out, with VFR and mostly clear skies inland. Winds will
remain slightly elevated inland around 10 knots, but gusts
should subside during the overnight hours. Expect stronger winds
of 20-30 kts with gusts to 35 kts to persist along the OBX
overnight. Tomorrow morning, ceilings should be at VFR levels
for TAF sites and inland areas between 3000-5000 ft, but low
clouds are likely to again bring MVFR ceilings along the
immediate coast and OBX for most of tomorrow, with the potential
for some IFR ceilings along the NOBX. Some guidance does
suggest that these low clouds will work their way inland during
the late morning and early afternoon hours, potentially bringing
MVFR ceilings to the TAF sites. The best chances at seeing MVFR
conditions are at EWN and PGV, but confidence remains low in
MVFR ceilings making it this inland to TAF sites. Northeast
winds/gusts will restrengthen tomorrow to 10-15 knots with gusts
to 15-20 kts inland (20-25 knots with gusts 25-30 kts OBX).
LONG TERM /Tuesday Night through Saturday/...
As of 3 PM Monday...Low stratus possible as northerly flow may
result in a cold air damming regime along the coastal plain this
coming week. Tuesday into Wednesday rain chances with drops in
cig and vis pick up along the coast.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Tuesday/...
As of 3 PM Mon...Hazardous boating conditions will continue
through tomorrow as strong NE winds persist across the coastal
waters behind a cold front. Winds the rest of today will be NE
20-30 kts with some gusts approaching gale force. This evening
and early tonight winds may increase a few knots further, and a
short period of frequent Gale Force gusts are possible for
portions of the coastal waters and Pamlico Sound. However,
confidence is not high enough on this occuring and for a
significant duration, so will leave strongly worded SCAs for
now. Later tonight after midnight, winds will begin to subside
and shift to the NNE at 15-25 kts with gusts to 30 kts. Tomorrow
winds should remain nearly steady, but could briefly subside
slightly as low pressure forms offshore along the stalled front.
Seas are currently 6-10 ft and will continue to build even
higher tonight to 7-12 ft. Seas will subside slightly tomorrow
but remain 5-9 ft.
LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday/...
As of 3 PM Monday...
Key Messages:
- Prolonged period of SCA conditions likely to continue into
Tuesday night
- Winds fall below 25kts Wednesday, but near Small Craft
Advisory conditions continue through the remainder of the work
week
- Another chance for SCA conditions late this week
Seas abate as winds ease late Tuesday into Wednesday, with
southern waters (Onslow Bay) first to see sub 6ft seas as early
as Tuesday night. Even as these winds lessen, they will be
15-25kt out of the NE through the workweek. Tuesday into
Wednesday shortwave moves through along a lingering coastal
trough, increasing precip chances for areas along the coast and
coastal waters.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 700 PM Monday...The combination of persistent (but sub-
gale) northeast winds, and higher than normal astronomical tides
will produce elevated waters levels today through most of the
work week. Depending on wind and tide fluctuations, water levels
will likely be a few feet above normal, and as much as 1 to 2
feet AGL (above ground level). The highest water levels are
expected along the southern Pamlico Sound and adjacent tidal
rivers and creeks, as well as across Core and Bogue Sounds. In
this area, a Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued to highlight
the potential for minor impacts. Higher water levels are also
expected oceanside, especially north of Cape Hatteras, and
should be limited to minor beach and dune erosion, but minor
ocean overwash can't be ruled out given the still weakened state
of many dune structures across Dare County. For the time being,
advisories are not planned for oceanside areas of the OBX, but
this will be re-evaluated after future high tides, especially if
notable impacts are observed.
