Imelda continues to move away from the Eastern Seaboard but
will continue to bring coastal impacts to the area through
Friday. High pressure will build in from the north through this
weekend continuing to bring NE to E'rly flow to Eastern North
Carolina with seasonable temperatures and generally dry
conditions.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 230 PM Thurs...

Key Messages:

 - Gusty NE winds continue - Coastal impacts continue (see coastal
flood section)

Although Imelda continues to track northeastwards further out
to sea and away from the Eastern Seaboard, this systems impact
to ENC will continue to be felt through tonight. Breezy NE'rly
winds will continue through tonight given the pressure gradient
remains pinched between the departing Imelda and strong high
pressure ridging building in from the north. In general have
seen gusts up around 25-35 mph along the OBX and coast with
gusts around 15-25 mph inland. Highs got into low to mid 70s
across ENC today.

As we get into tonight, upper and surface ridging continue to
extend into ENC keeping things dry outside of a few weak coastal
showers well offshore as a coastal trough begins to develop.
Steady NE'rly winds at 5-10 mph inland with strong winds along
the coast and OBX will keep us well mixed enough to preclude a
fog threat. Temps tonight get into the mid to upper 50s inland
and low to mid 60s along the coast and OBX.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/...
As of 230 PM Thurs...

Key Messages:

 - Coastal impacts quickly wind down (see coastal flood section for
more info) and winds quickly ease today

Strong surface high pressure continues to build in to the area
but with Imelda now very far away form the Eastern Seaboard
winds should relax quite a bit through the day today with NE'rly
winds lowering down to 10-15 mph with gusts up around 20 mph
primarily along the OBX. Otherwise expecting primarily dry
weather across ENC with just an isolated chance at a shower or
two along the immediate coast as a coastal trough sets up. Highs
get into the 70s across ENC.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 130 AM Thursday...Sfc high pressure will be centered off the
Mid-Atlantic coast while upper ridging builds across the Eastern
CONUS into early next week. NE winds continue Friday night into
Saturday, then veer to Ely as the sfc high migrates off the
Mid-Atlantic coast. Generally dry weather is expected for most
area although a coastal trough offshore may produce a few
showers across the coastal waters. Some guidance continues to
show some of these showers working their way toward the coast.
Temps will be a few degrees below normal through the week with
highs in the mid to upper 70s. Temps warm to near normal over
the weekend and early next week with highs around 80/lower 80s.

By the middle of next week, the upper ridge breaks down as a strong
northern stream trough digs into the Northern Plains and Midwest
with sfc high pressure migrating farther offshore and sfc cold front
approaching from the NW bringing increasing chances of showers
across the region.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Friday/...
As of 6:45 PM Thursday...Predominantly VFR conditions expected
through tomorrow with high pressure building in from the north.
Tonight, expect mostly clear skies with a few low clouds around
4kft and NE winds around 5-15 kt, which will keep the boundary
layer mixed enough to preclude fog development. Tomorrow will be
very similar to tonight with slightly greater cloud cover from
diurnal cu. A slight chance (<20%) of showers along the
immediate coast tomorrow could impact far eastern terminals, but
conditions are expected to remain predominantly VFR.

LONG TERM /Friday night through Tuesday/...
As of 130 AM Thursday...Pred VFR conditions expected through
the long term with high pressure building in from the northeast.
NE to E will be less than 15 kt through the period. Cannot rule
out patchy late night fog toward the end of the week when winds
will be weaker and low levels decouple overnight.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Friday/...
As of 230 PM Thurs...

Key Messages:

 - Hazardous marine conditions through the period

Latest obs show widespread NE'rly winds at about 15-25 kts with
gusts up around 25-30 kts and a few gusts up near 35 kts around the
Gulf Stream this afternoon as a result of the strong pressure
gradient between an incoming high pressure system and the departing
post-tropical Imelda. In addition to this, seas across our coastal
waters remain hazardous with 10-15 ft seas noted. Expect
dangerous marine conditions to continue especially across our
coastal waters even as conditions gradually ease through the
remainder of the period. Winds are forecast to ease tonight into
Fri morning down to 10 to 20 kts with gusts up to 15-25 kts
with the strongest gusts likely along our coastal waters and
near the Gulf Stream. Seas will also begin to gradually lower
through the period falling to 6 to 10 ft tonight and then 5 to 9
ft on Friday. While this will likely spell an end to all inland
small crafts by Fri morning, small crafts across all coastal
waters will continue through the end of the period given the
elevated wind and seas.

LONG TERM /Friday night through Tuesday/...
As of 1 AM Thursday...

Key Message

 - Gradually improving marine conditions through the long term
   but elevated seas will keep Small Craft Advisories across
   the coastal waters into early next week.

High pressure building in from the north will bring NE winds around
10-20 kt on Friday. The high migrates offshore over the weekend with
winds becoming easterly around 15 kt or less.

Seas around 6-12 ft on Friday will slowly subside through the
long term, however seas as high as 6-7 ft expected to keep SCA
conditions across the coastal waters through Monday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 3 PM Thursday...Long period swell and strong NE winds are
causing minor to moderate coastal flooding along the OBX and
this will continue through Friday evening. Strong NE winds will
lead to minor coastal flooding for soundside areas adj to the
southern Pamlico Sound, Neuse/Bay/Pamlico Rivers through
Friday evening. Coastal Flood Warnings and Advisories remain in
effect.

Oceanside...Lingering powerful long period swell from the
combination of ex-hurricanes Humberto and Imelda will persist
across ENC beaches through tomorrow, bringing dangerous rip
currents, large breaking waves, ocean overwash, coastal
flooding, and wave runup impacts. Most significant impacts
continue to be across Hatteras Island where 2 to 3 ft AGL of
inundation is possible through Friday evening around times of
high tide given weakened dune structures across the area. 1 to
2 ft of inundation is possible across Ocracoke where the swell
direction and offshore winds will keep impacts more minor.

Soundside...Prolonged period of strong NE winds will keep high
water in place through Friday evening. 1-2 ft of inundation is
expected along the southern Pamlico Sound, Neuse/Bay and
Pamlico/Pungo rivers.
