Area Discussion for - Newport/Morehead City, NC
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 171915 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 315 pm edt Tue sep 17 2019 Synopsis Hurricane humberto is forecast to move east-northeast well southeast of the area the next several days. Although no direct impacts are expected with humberto, rough marine conditions and strong rip currents are expected to continue this week. A cold front will continue to cross the area this evening followed by strong high pressure building in from the north and northeast though the end of the week bringing the first touch of fall weather to the area. Near term through tonight As of 245 pm tue... Latest sfc analysis shows ill defined cold front across the area this afternoon, which will continue to sink southward this evening as strong high pressure centered over northern quebec builds southward. High pressure will continue to build in from the north tonight, as humberto moves eastward away from the us coast. Latest radar imagery shows isolated shower slowly drifting southward through the western albemarle sound, towards martin and wash counties this afternoon. Expect any showers to be very isolated the next few hours. Very pleasant night expected as much drier and cooler air filters in, with dewpts dropping into the upr 50 and lower 60s most spots. Under pc to mclr skies expect comfortable lows around 60 NW to upr 60s lower 70s central SRN beaches. Short term Wednesday As of 245 pm tue... Strong high pressure will continue to build in from the north, while TC humberto continues to move E NE well offshore of the us coast. Gradient will tighten between the high and humberto, bring gusty NE winds ESP along the coast. Much drier airmass will continue to filter into the area with pwats dropping below one inch. Much cooler and fall-like temps expected as low level NE flow continues. Highs in the low mid 70s along the beaches and mid to upper 70s inland, with dewpoints mainly in the 50s. An isolated shower will be possible along the coast during the afternoon and evening, but not enough coverage to warrant pops at this time. Wind gusts 35-40 mph possible along the outer banks during the afternoon and evening. Long term Wednesday night through Tuesday As of 315 pm tue... TC humberto will bring indirect coastal impacts to E nc through the end of the week, though high pressure will build in bringing pleasant sensible weather to the region with below climo temps for a change. By the weekend the upper ridge will shift directly over the eastern seaboard with longwave troughing setting up over the central plains, and temps moderating back to near normal, then above normal by early next week with building upr ridge. Wednesday night through Thursday... Strong high pressure builds in from the north through the end of the week while humberto continues to track ene across the western atlantic. Tight pressure gradient between these systems will continue to bring breezy northeast winds and a cooler and drier airmass that will give us a first hint of fall. Winds still quite gusty on the obx where gradient is maximized Wed night and should see winds gusting to 35-45 mph first half of the night. Continued favoring highs on the cooler side of guidance for thu, resulting in a forecast of 70s area wide. This in line with low lvl thicknesses around 1360-1370m to support the coolest day being Thursday. Trended with lowest MOS guide and even slightly below, as clr skies, calm to light winds, and dry air mass allow for ideal radiational cooling regime with lows in the low mid 50s interior zones to the 60s on the beaches where proximity to the still warm waters and decent breezes keep temps quite a bit warmer. Friday through Saturday... Highs moderate a bit on Fri with a rise in low lvl thicknesses supporting readings in the mid upr 70s interior to low mid 70s obx. Another chilly night Fri night with sfc high directly overhead providing clr skies and calm winds, with lows in the low mid 50s away from the beaches, to low 60s along the coast. High temps moderate back to near climo in the low mid 80s inland to upr 70s obx, though with the continued very dry airmass (tds in the 50s) it will still feel very pleasant. Sunday through Tuesday... Return swrly flow continue to moderate temps back to climo and above, with highs in the mid 80s, and lows moderating back into the 60s. It will continue to be dry however with upr ridge holding strong over the SE conus, although guidance suggests that ridge will eventually break down with longwave troughing ejecting out of the central u.S. Aviation 19z Tuesday through Sunday Short term through Wednesday ... as of 245 pm tue... PredVFR conditions expected through the |
period. Drier air will continue to filter into the area tonight and Wednesday. This combined with light to moderate NE flow should limit and fog or stratus threat overnight. NE wind gusts 15-25 kt expected Wed afternoon. Long term Wednesday night through Sunday ... as of 315 pm tue... Strong high pressure builds in mid to late week with humberto passing well offshore bringing continued gusty winds Wed night and thur, ESP during the afternoon when mixing is maximized. Otherwise, good flying conditions with mainly sunny skies and lower humidities preventing widespread fog formation through late week. With calm winds expected this weekend there may be patchy light fg br each morning. Marine Short term through Wednesday ... as of 245 pm tue... Latest obs show NE winds 15-25 kt with seas 4-6 ft north of oregon inlet and 5-8 ft south. Strong NE winds and dangerous seas will continue through the period. High pressure will continue to build in from the north through Wednesday, as gradient tightens between the high and tc humberto. Wind wave combined with long period swells from distant humberto will allow dangerous seas to build. NE winds 15-25 kt will increase to 20-30 kt Wed afternoon and evening. Seas 4-8 ft this afternoon continue to build and peak at 6-13 ft wed evening, highest across the outer central waters. Main change this afternoon was to upgrade SCA to gale warning for the pamlico sound, and coastal waters south of oregon inlet with winds peaking Wed afternoon into the first part of Wed night. Expect winds 25-30 kt with frequent gusts to 35 kt. The northern waters may see some gale force gusts as well, but will keep strong SCA there at this time. Also added pamlico pungo rvrs to sca for gusty winds Wed afternoon. Long term Wednesday night through Sunday ... as of 315 pm tue... SCA conditions expected through much of the long term with gusty nerly winds, dangerously large seas as combined swells from TC humberto and pressure gradient between building high pressure and humberto well offshore impact the waters. Continued gales first half of Wed night as gradient will be maximized, then winds slowly diminish through Thursday, decreasing to less than 25 kt by thur morning for sounds and rivers. Seas will remain quite high through the end of the week into the weekend as long period swell continues to only slowly subside. Seas should subside below 6 ft all waters by sat evening. Tides coastal flooding As of 245 pm tue... Longer period swells from TC humberto will lead to a high threat of rip currents this week. In addition to the swells, strong NE winds will develop this evening into thu as strong high pres builds in from the ne. These winds combined with the swells will produce large seas likely AOA 10 feet over portions of the coastal wtrs. With waves heights in surf zone expected to build to 8 ft later tonight will continue high surf advisory from CAPE lookout n. The high surf will cont thru the end of the week and may see some overwash in vulnerable locations during high tides. Minor water level rises are likely for soundside locations adjacent to the southern pamlico sound and neuse rvrs in craven and carteret Wed afternoon into wed night. Mainly impacting downeast carteret and areas along the neuse river with persistent strong NE winds. Will hold off on advisory at this time. Mhx watches warnings advisories Nc...

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. |
