...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...Ocracoke Island and Core Banks beaches.

* WHEN...From 8 AM EDT Tuesday through Tuesday 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 3 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
802 PM EDT Mon Jun 1 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Increased post-frontal winds faster this evening, and started
the marine headlines sooner. The chance of thunderstorms was
decreased north of HWY 70 for the rest of the evening.

Extension of SCA for offshore waters through Thursday and
Friday.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Cold front moves offshore this evening. Cooler air lingers
tomorrow and Wednesday.

2) Cool and trending drier as a coastal low looks to remain off
the coast Tue, Wed, and Thurs.

3) Heat returns this weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...As of 8pm, the cold front stretches from Cape
Hatteras to Surf City, and is just about to move offshore.
Scattered convection continues along the front, but should clear
the area by midnight. Of note, some hi-res guidance suggests
some redevelopment of convection may occur as a reinforcing
northeasterly surge of CAA moves through the area. The airmass
is likely worked over pretty good from earlier convection, and
it appears unlikely that any significant redevelopment will
occur. Of note, the cold front is moving in faster than
anticipated, and the forecast has been updated to reflect this
trend. The net effect locally is cooler and breezy conditions
developing sooner.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION: Local and regional observations show a
warm and increasingly moist airmass continuing to advect over
eastern NC in moderate southwesterly flow, ahead of a stalled
front currently analyzed over the VA/NC state line and forecast
to push southward later this evening. Already seeing some broken
shallow showers developing along a pre-frontal trough oriented
from roughly Kenansville through the northern Outer Banks.

Mid-level shortwave currently pushing south over the Great
Lakes will continue to rotate around a trough sitting over the
northeastern CONUS, and the surface front will drop into the
Carolinas later this afternoon. While a few showers and isolated
storm will be possible in the warm sector through this
afternoon, the front will provide the focal point for better
coverage of showers and storms, moving from north to south.
Coverage will likely be higher farther south where a more
unstable pre-storm environment is in place, up to 1000-1500 J/kg
per SPC mesoanalysis.

Overall conditions remain only marginally conducive for strong
storms. Effective shear, especially south of Highway 64, is
forecast to be around 20-30 kt which could aid in some modest
organization, but lapse rates will be quite poor (at or under
6.0 C/km even at lower levels). 12z MHX sounding did some some
mid-level dry air and forecast DCAPEs are forecast to rise to
around 400-800 J/kg, so if a stronger storm is realized some
gusty winds of 40+ mph are possible. Overall probability of this
occurring within 25 mi of a point is less than 5%.

Cooler air floods in behind the front in strong northeasterly
flow with skies gradually clearing behind it. Unseasonably cool
air will knock lows down into the upper 50s to low 60s. The
coolest conditions are expected Tue evening with high pressure
overhead and decoupling likely, with lows potentially dipping
into the upper 40s in well sheltered spots.

KEY MESSAGE 2... Previously mentioned positively tilted upper-
level trough will swing across the Mid Atlantic on Tuesday,
which will help keep a developing coastal low well offshore.
Guidance continues to trend this low farther offshore, and odds
of any associated shower activity bleeding onshore continues to
fall in this afternoon's update. The more noticeable impact
from this feature will be stronger northerly gradient winds,
which could gust to 20-25 mph inland and 25-35 mph along the
coast.

KEY MESSAGE 3...As we get into the end of the week, low
offshore is forecast to push further out to sea with high
pressure building overhead Thurs and then becoming anchored off
the coast this weekend. This will bring steady SW'rly flow,
increasing low level thicknesses, and warming temps with highs
forecast to get back into the 90s inland and 80s along the coast
and OBX bringing a return to more summer like temps. Long term
probabilistic guidance suggests there is room for forecast
highs to trend higher (probability of a Moderate or higher
HeatRisk is already 50-60%+ from Saturday onward), so those
sensitive to heat issues are encouraged to keep an eye on trends
over the next few days.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A cold front currently stretches from KHSE to KOAJ, and will
continue to push south over the next few hours, eventually
moving offshore. Until the front clears the coast, there will
continue to be a risk of TSRA, mainly impacting KOAJ. In the
wake of the front, SCT SHRA will move through, but the risk of
TSRA will be drastically lower. There still appears to be a
decent signal for a band of MVFR CIGs to move through the area
later this evening or tonight, but guidance is mixed on whether
or not this will occur, and if it does, when it will occur. For
now, I kept the TAFs mostly unchanged regarding timing, but I
made some adjustments to KISO and KPGV to show a TEMPO group for
low CIGs as opposed to a prevailing group. This was meant to
show the probability of MVFR CIGs has decreased some for those
terminals. VFR conditions are then expected to prevail on
Tuesday as much drier air filters into the area.

A northeast wind shift will accompany the front as it moves
through, with a period of gusty northeast winds during the
daylight hours on Tuesday.

Outlook: Winds will remain out of the NE on Wednesday but
gradually ease with a slight chance of showers (highest along
the coast). Winds eventually shift to S'rly direction by late
Thursday and into Friday and remain light. Predominantly VFR
conditions are expected for the remainder of the period.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 8pm, a cold front has pushed through the northern waters
and is about halfway through the central waters. This is faster
than originally anticipated, and marine obs are already showing
25kt wind gusts ongoing across the Albemarle/Croatan/Roanoke
Sounds and the nearby coastal waters. In light of this, I
increased winds for all waters to account for the faster arrival
of the northeasterly wind surge, and I also started all marine
headlines sooner.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION: Main features of interest over the waters
is a cold front pushing south out of the mid-Atlantic this
afternoon, and a compact but strengthening offshore low
currently a few hundred miles off the coast of South Carolina.
Regional observations show moderate south to southwesterly flow
ahead of the approaching front with sustained 15-20kt and
occasional gusts to 25 kt. Scattered shower and iso thunder
coverage is occasionally bringing down higher gusts. Increasing
shower and thunderstorm chances expected this afternoon and
evening. A few of these storms could be strong in nature
bringing a threat for locally elevated winds and seas to all
waters.

Cold front is forecast to cross the waters later this afternoon
into the evening hours, with a hearty northerly surge of winds
in its wake. Increasing shower and thunderstorm chances expected
this afternoon and evening. Sustained winds of 15-25 kts with
gusts up around 30 kts are expected while seas build to 6-9 ft
north of Cape Lookout and 4-7 ft south of Cape Lookout. This
will once again bring SCA conditions to all our waters starting
tonight. Persistent north to northeasterly fetch behind the
departing low will keep seas elevated for much of the week, and
the duration of SCA seas has increased from the previous
forecast. Extended SCA into Thursday and Friday for offshore
zones north of Cape Lookout. Signal remains for a brief window
of Gales over the waters south of Hatteras beyond 20 nm, but is
still too weak to include headlines this afternoon.

Outlook: SCA conditions come to an end by the weekend with a
return to more typical warm-season patterns in south to
southwesterly flow and localized surges in the late afternoon
and evening associated with thermal gradients.
