NEAR TERM /Through Tonight/
As of 303 PM Thu...Tonight will be similar to last night.
Lows will bottom out around 60 and another round of fog is in the cards. Some of the fog could become dense again, especially srn half of the FA, where high res model suite indicates highest probs of dense fog.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/
As of 303 PM Thu...After morning fog burns off, another very warm day on tap, with highs into the mid and upr 80s interior, to 70s coast as a dry sea breeze develops once again.

LONG TERM /SAT THROUGH THURSDAY/
As of 0330 Thursday...Quiet until this weekend when conditions become more unsettled through early next week. Best rain chances on Sunday

Weekend...The mid-level ridge remains over the eastern US Saturday but weakens as a complex series of shortwave troughs and surface lows move toward the area, resulting in unsettled conditions that will persist into the beginning of next week.
Chances for showers and storms start to increase Saturday morning and peak Sunday (30-50%). Shower and storm chances hang around through the period due to the lingering nature the front, but they will be decreasing as we progress into next week (25-50% Monday, 15-30% Tuesday). Saturday's high temps will be a few degrees cooler than Friday due to the originally dry cold front that will dip south (low 80s coastal plain, low 70s beaches). Temps remain around the same Sunday.

Early next Week...Upper ridging builds back over the area Tuesday behind a weak shortwave passing Monday. Shortwave and remnants of the weekend's front/SFC trough will lead to some precip Mon. Temps rebound next week with highs expected to reach back into 80s Mon and Tues, 90s Wed.

AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
SHORT TERM /through Fri/...
As of 2 PM Thursday...Fog is possible again tonight with guidance hinting at LIFR VIS for EWN and OAJ, and have hit fog hardest at these sites. Could very well be a pd of dense fog at KISO, and possibly KPGV as well, but signal for nrn areas is not as strong for fog.

LONG TERM /Sat through Monday/...
As of 0330 Thursday...Pred VFR expected through Friday.
Conditions become more unsettled this weekend through early next week due to a series of disturbances moving across the area.
There will be multiple chances for showers and storms with Sunday having the greatest threat (30-60%). Periods of lower CIGs and VIS as well as gusty winds if near any storms can be expected.

MARINE
SHORT TERM /through Fri/...
As of 303 PM Thursday...Sub-SCA conditions through the period.
Winds will be light (5 kt or less) and variable for much of the day but will slightly increase in speed (5-10 kt) as they transition to southerly and then eventually southwesterly by lateer tonight. Seas only 1-2 ft throughout.

May be dense fog again for coastal waters, sounds, and rivers once again, esp further south in the srn/ctrl coastal waters, Pamlico Sound, and Neuse/Pamlico rivers later this evening into early Fri.

LONG TERM /Sat through Monday/...
As of 0330 Thursday...Sub-SCA conditions are expected through the period but multiple chances for showers and thunderstorms could create hazardous boating conditions. Sunday presents the best opportunity for showers and storms (30-40%). Winds veer to the southwest by early Friday. A dry cold front will sag south into northern counties on Friday. North of Cape Hatteras, 5-10 kt winds will be out of the E by the afternoon. South of Cape Hatteras, winds will be 5-10 kt out of the ESE.
