Another backdoor front will move into the region Monday, but then will quickly retreat north Tuesday, with very hot temperatures expected across the region through at least the middle of next week. A cold front is expected to move into the area Friday. Near term until 6 am Saturday morning As of 10 pm fri... A weak backdoor front continues to push across the area late this evening and, based on radar returns and surface obs, it is now oriented roughly along a line from greenville to jacksonville and pushing south-southwestward. Mainly light northeast winds continue to overspread the area behind the front, with some scattered stratus coverage possible late tonight, but no significant threat for any precip. Above normal temps continue with lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s for most. Short term 6 am Saturday morning through 6 pm Saturday As of 310 pm fri... High pressure will move off the mid-atlantic coast tomorrow and reinforce easterly winds across the area, until late in the afternoon when the high moves far enough offshore for winds to turn to the se. Low level thicknesses will be slightly lower than today, resulting in highs climbing into the low 90s inland, and then with easterly onshore flow most of the day, temps will only reach the upper 70s to low 80s across the obx and mainland hyde and dare counties. Long term Saturday night through Friday As of 215 pm Friday... An anomalous upper ridge will linger across the southeastern quarter of the united states for the next several days. This will produce well above normal temperatures into the middle of next week with high temperatures well into the 90s inland with a few spots poss reaching 100 degrees Tue thru thu. Beaches as usual will be a bit cooler with flow off ocean sounds but shld climb well into the 80s. Heat index values thru Thu will be mainly 95 to 100 but could reach 100 to 105 a few sites Tuesday through Thursday. As the upper ridge begins to break down late in the week a cold front will drop into the area Fri with temps cooling a bit with warmest sites 90 to 95. Models show weak impulse moving thru Sat night early Sunday and some show light precip poss... For now wl keep dry but cont to monitor. Otherwise differential heating boundaries in the afternoon and evening could produce an isolated shower or storm most any day, the coverage of any precipitation is very low and have left out of the forecast through thu. As the upr ridge begins to break down with cold front moving in did add a 20 pop for fri. Aviation 02z Saturday through Wednesday Short term through Saturday afternoon ... as of 7 pm fri...VFR conditions are will continue through the period. A cold front progressing through the area is bringing a wind shift from northwest to northeast, but winds will remain light so the shift will have minimal impact. SomeVFR stratus could develop overnight along and north of the cold front, with any stratus that does develop dissipating later Saturday morning. Winds remain mainly light while becoming more southerly through the day Saturday. Long term Saturday night through Wednesday ... as of 220 pm Friday...VFR conditions are likely throughout the extended period. Cannot rule out patchy shallow fog or stratus early in the morning each day, but the extent should be short and limited. Marine Short term tonight and Sat ... as of 10 pm fri... The cold front will push completely south of the coastal waters late this evening, with light to moderate |
northeast winds filling in behind the boundary. Gusts of 20 to 25 kt are possible over the next couple of hours mainly near and south of CAPE lookout, but coverage and duration are too low to justify an sca. Seas will remain around 2 to 3 ft overnight. Winds tomorrow will be mostly E NE around 10-15 kts, and then turn to the SE late in the day.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
