Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
350 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
The threat for strong thunderstorms has diminished but could
still see some areas of heavy rainfall with localized instances
of flash flooding through the afternoon, though the threat has
been diminishing as well.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms with
localized areas of heavy rainfall may bring a localized threat
for flash flooding this afternoon.

2) Brief reprieve from the dangerous heat this week, then hot
and humid conditions return by the end of the week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...A wavy frontal boundary remains quasi-stationary
across the Southeast U.S. today, with areas of low pressure
riding east along it. Weak instability, anomalous moisture, slow
storm motions, and areas of enhanced convergence continues to
favor bands of training convection capable of producing heavy
rainfall rates (potentially as high as 2-3"/hr at times). While
not everyone will get these rates, there remains an isolated
threat of flooding and flash flooding where those occur,
especially if they develop over urban areas. The threat for
heavy rainfall eases tonight as instability wanes but scattered
showers will likely continues, especially near the coast. Slightly
drier air working in from the north will focus the heavy
rainfall footprint across far southern sections of ENC Tuesday,
with conditions improving by Tuesday night as the low and
frontal zone shift farther offshore.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Low pressure developing off the coast of NC
today is expected to keep a "cooler" northeasterly flow going
across ENC through Tuesday. A warming trend ensues on Wednesday
with highs climbing back into the low to mid 90s with heat
indices in the mid 90s to around 100 degree. Guidance continue
to show a strong signal for above normal temperatures Thursday
through the weekend with temps well into the 90s and heat
indices around 100-110 degrees bringing an increased heat risk
once again.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Scattered to numerous showers with isolated thunderstorms
continues across rtes this afternoon bringing periods of MVFR
conditions in locally heavy rainfall. The thunderstorms threat
eases this evening but could still see isolated to scattered
showers overnight, with highest chances near the coast. Given
abundant low level moisture expect sub-VFR stratus to develop
across much of the region overnight bringing MVFR to
occasionally IFR conditions across rtes. Isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorm threat redevelops Tuesday with highest
probabilities across southern rtes.

Outlook (Tuesday night through Friday): Mainly clear skies and
light winds will allow for good radiational cooling Tuesday
night bringing a threat for fog and stratus. A more
predominant period of VFR conditions looks to return by the
middle of the week.

&&

.MARINE...
Low pressure off the coast will slowly translate eastward along
a stalled front just south of the waters and dissipate into
Tuesday. Easterly winds around 10-20 kt with some gusts to 25 kt
across the central waters where gradients are tightest while
seas are around 4-7 ft across the central and northern waters
and 2-4 ft across the southern waters. Conditions should
gradually improve overnight and the low begins to pull away
from the area. The Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for
the central and northern coastal waters, into this evening for
the waters north of Oregon Inlet and late tonight for Oregon
Inlet to Ocracoke Inlet.

Outlook (Tuesday through Friday): Low pressure will slowly
weaken and move east on Tuesday with high pressure building in
mid to late week bringing improved boating conditions. Building
southwesterly flow is expected by the end of the week.
