6/25/2017 - NOAA is having a major issue that impact the 7 day forecast load times. Many users are reporting problems. The issue has been reported. 5/23/2017 - Worked with NOAA again to speed up the 7 day forecast load times. Thanks to them for being responsive. 5/19/2016 - There were issues with the 3 day airport observation history. I switched to another data source. Let me know if you see any issues with the data feeds. |

Albemarle sound... S of currituck beach light nc to oregon inlet nc out to 20 nm... Waters from currituck beach light to oregon inlet nc from 20 to 40 nm... At 712 pm edt...doppler radar indicated a strong Thunderstorm... Capable of producing winds to around 30 knots. This Thunderstorm was located near kitty hawk...moving east at 15 knots. Precautionary/preparedness actions... Mariners can expect gusty winds to around 30 knots...locally higher waves...lightning strikes...and heavy downpours. Boaters should seek safe harbor immediately until this storm passes. Intense lightning is occurring with this storm. If caught on the open water stay below deck if possible...keep away from ungrounded metal objects. && lat...lon 3604 7516 3603 7570 3621 7574 3622 7567 3622 7519 |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 201449 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 1049 am edt Fri oct 20 2017 Synopsis High pressure will build over the region through Saturday and then slide offshore Sunday into Monday. A strong cold front will approach from the west Tuesday and move across the area Tuesday night into early Wednesday. High pressure will build over the area mid to late week. Near term until 6 pm this evening As of 1045 am Friday... Minor adjustments to hourly temp and dew point trends, otherwise high and dry forecast on track. Previous discussion as of 615 am Friday... High pressure surface and aloft will continue over the area through tonight producing mostly clear skies and light winds. A thin veil of high cirrus clouds will stream south across the area today around the upper ridge. Areas of locally dense radiational fog early this morning should dissipate around 13z (9 am) this morning. Highs today should be similar to Thursday, around 80 degrees inland and the mid to perhaps upper 70s beaches. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 am Saturday As of 300 am Friday... Clear skies light winds continue with patchy fog expected to develop again inland after midnight. Lows will range from the upper 40s inland to around 60 beaches. Long term Saturday through Thursday As of 330 am fri... Saturday through Sunday... High pressure centered over the area will move off the coast this weekend with warming temps and slight rises in humidity values. It will continue mainly sunny through the weekend. High temps will be in the upper 70s to low 80s both Sat and sun. Morning lows will be in the 50-55 degree range interior to low 60s beaches. Monday through Tuesday... Next significant shortwave cold front moves into the eastern CONUS by early next week. 20 00z global model suite has converged on timing strength of deep upper trough and strong cold front progged to move through the region. Thus have enough confidence now to advertise likely pops on Tuesday, with chc pops Monday Monday night. Upr ridging still overhead on Monday, though low level flow veers southeast and strengthens, so some sct showers may advect onshore across the fa as boundary layer moisture increases through the day. On Monday night and especially Tuesday, vorticity advection increases as models depict dampening shortwave trough pivoting through the tn ohio valleys. This feature will spur cyclogenesis west and north of the carolinas acting to increase dynamics and strengthening southerly flow on 50+ kt llj. Dewpoints will rise steadily through the 60s by Tuesday, and the combination of significant wind shear and marginal instability could spell a high shear low CAPE scenario for strong or severe storms. Too early to depict storm mode, but will have to monitor as the potential will be there for severe if enough instability present. Wednesday into Thursday... Rapid drying and cooling expected by |
Wednesday as the front should move off the coast Tue night or early wed. Have retained the small pops for Wednesday as the deep upper low moves through E nc and could produce a few showers. Dry NW flow on thur as upper low finally exits off the mid atlantic coast. Temps will be much cooler for the mid week period with Wed and Thu both in the 60s for highs. Temps fall back into the 50s for Wed morning, then into the 40s inland and low 50s beaches for thur morning. Aviation 15z Friday through Tuesday Short term through tonight ... as of 615 am Friday... Areas of locally dense fog at near the taf sites will dissipate around 13z this morning withVFR conditions and light winds expected through this evening. Could see another round of fog and subVFR conditions develop after 6z tonight under similar conditions as last tonight. Long term Sat through Tue ... as of 330 am fri... PredVFR conditions expected through the weekend. However, there may be overnight early morning fog all taf sites this weekend as low level moisture increases and skies remain clear with calm winds each night. Sub-vfr possible in scattered showers spreading in from the southwest Monday into Monday night, with better chance of widespread MVFR ifr by Tuesday as a strong cold front approaches the region. Winds light through Monday, then gusty south winds expected on Tuesday ahead of the front. Marine Short term through tonight ... as of 1045 am Friday... No changes with update. Previous discussion as of 615 am Friday... High pressure will continue over the waters through tonight producing excellent marine conditions for most mariners. Wind speeds will be mainly 10 kt or less through the period with the flow W NW today becoming N NE tonight. Seas are forecast to be 2 to 4 ft today and 2 to 3 ft tonight. Long term Sat through Tue ... as of 330 am fri... Northeast to east winds remain light in the 5-10 kt through the weekend. Seas will be 2-4 ft. Winds will turn southeast on Monday as high pressure moves further offshore. Winds will slowly increase from 5-10 kt in the morning to 10-15 kt by late in the afternoon. Seas will be 2-4 ft north of CAPE hatteras and 3-5 ft south. Winds increase drastically Monday night and peak on Tuesday ahead of a strong cold front approaching from the west. Speeds will be 20-30 kt with some gale force gusts possible on Tuesday. Seas increase to 7-11 feet on Tuesday. Mhx watches warnings advisories Nc... None. Marine... None. Synopsis... Jme near term...

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. |
