SYNOPSIS
A cold front with limited moisture will and cross the region this morning. High pressure builds back into the area from the north this afternoon and eventually slides offshore this weekend.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
As of 1010 AM Thu...Cold front is now well offshore with broad northeasterly flow in place across the region under clear skies.
Latest HRRR conditions to advertise a risk of isolated showers will be possible across eastern NC, particularly along and south of Highway 70 where the gradient will remain weak and allow a sea breeze to form and move inland during peak heating.
Convergence with the sea breeze and the developing post frontal northerly flow combined with diurnal heating should be enough to trigger isolated showers as CAPE values of 250-300 J/kg are forecast. Any showers should rapidly dissipate by early evening with the loss of heating and the increasing post frontal northerly flow finally extending into southeast NC.

Shallow fog early this morning will dissipate rapidly after sunrise as the front sweeps through and northerly winds increase. Temps will continue warm inland with highs in the mid to upper 70s but will be cooler, only around 60 along the northern Outer Banks in onshore flow. N to NE winds will be gusty along the coast following the passage of the cold front this afternoon into this evening.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/
As of 345 AM Thursday...Sfc high pressure ridges in from the north tonight resulting in cooler air moving into the area.
Guidance is beginning to indicate that an area of low stratus will develop along and just off of the Outer Banks by early evening then drift westward and inland across portions of eastern NC tonight. Right now most areas east of Highway 17 should become mostly cloudy overnight with the possibility that these clouds could extend further west into the coastal plain.
Areas along the coast will experience gusty winds with lighter northerly breezes inland. Lows will range from the upper 40s inland to the mid 50s immediate coast.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
As of 400 AM Thursday...Fairly quiet stretch in the long term with high pressure dominating the region.

High pressure will remain near the eastern seaboard through the end of the work week, aided by omega blocking aloft. Low moving through the eastern US in the weekend will encounter this stubborn high, and some uncertainty remains if it will be pushed north around the high, or if the high will give way. If the low moves north, we will have less chances of precip in the weekend. If the low is able to shift the high offshore, we will see increased chances of precip. No mentionable PoPs with this update for Saturday as high remaining stubborn looks to be the most likely outcome. High will shift to our south in the weekend, and easterly flow will gradually veer to become southwesterly at the start of next week. Another frontal system will be moving through mid week next week. How the high behaves will play a role on how far south the higher moisture along the cold front extends. As of right now, looks to be mostly dry with higher precip chances expected in farther north than eastern NC.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be the warmest days of the long term (mid-upper 80s inland), aided by SW flow with the surface high to our east over the Western Atlantic Ocean.

AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
SHORT TERM /Through 18Z Fri/...
As of 150 PM Thur...VFR conditions continue this afternoon under as diurnal cu fields quickly develop in northeasterly flow behind a cold front. Hi-res guidance is pointing to a few very isolated showers across the coastal plain late this afternoon into evening as a reinforcing backdoor surface boundary pushes across the region, but these will quickly fall apart by sunset.
Winds behind the boundary may briefly gust up to 15 kt for an hour or two.

Beyond today, guidance continues to hammer the development of widespread low stratus as onshore flow pools moisture under a strong frontal inversion. Timing has changed little from the previous forecast, with MVFR gradually spreading from east to west shortly after 00z and uninterrupted IFR from 06-07z until around 14z when diurnal processes begin to break up the stratus deck. VFR returns area wide by mid-morning Friday.

LONG TERM /Friday through Monday/...
As of 4 AM Thursday...VFR conditions will persist through Monday with high pressure prevails over the region.

MARINE
SHORT TERM /through Tonight/...
As of 640 AM Thursday..SCA's continue in effect for the sounds and coastal waters today and tonight for gusty post frontal northerly winds. Early this morning the cold front was located over the central Outer Banks and will begin moving southeast across the southern waters this morning. Ahead of the front W to SW winds were 5-154 kt. Behind the front winds will shift to the N to NE and increase to 15-25 kt this afternoon and tonight.
Seas currently 3-5 ft will build to 4-7 ft tonight.

LONG TERM /Friday through Monday/...
As of 410 AM Thursday...Surface high pressure over the Northeastern U.S. will nose south over the waters on Friday as a weak boundary remains south of the area. The ridge will shift off the coast on Saturday allowing flow to become more easterly, then eventually southeasterly by Sunday morning. A new surface ridge will develop across the Southeastern states and shift off the Carolina coast by Sunday afternoon, shifting winds southwesterly and persisting SW through Tuesday.

NW winds will diminish below SCA levels Friday, though seas will linger at or above 6 ft through much of the day for the coastal waters. May see SCAs persist until Friday evening for the central coastal waters, Oregon Inlet to Ocracoke Inlet. Winds and seas subside below SCA levels for the weekend into early next week with generally good boating conditions anticipated.
