Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

Area Discussion for - Newport/Morehead City, NC
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 150007 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 807 pm edt Mon oct 14 2019 Synopsis A cold front will move offshore tonight. High pressure will quickly pass through the area on Tuesday. Low pressure will move up the east coast Wednesday, and push a cold front offshore Wednesday night. Cooler high pressure will build in late week and into next weekend. Near term through Tuesday As of 730 pm mon... No significant changes with the early evening update, radiational cooling has happened fairly rapidly inland with clear skies and calm conditions, but should slow as dewpoint depressions approach zero by late evening. The fog forecast is challenging for tonight as ridging down the coast could bring about some very light flow and inhibit fog formation late. However, if we remain decoupled, patchy fog will be possible for several hours around sunrise, especially along and west of us hwy 17. Previous discussion... Very quiet conditions tonight as high pres builds in from the nw. With lowering dewpts and light to calm winds inland expect excellent radiational cooling with cooler inland spots reaching upper 40s. Warmer beaches with light breeze and warm water temps keeping lows in the upr 50s to mid 60s. Short term Tuesday night through 6 pm Tuesday As of 220 pm mon... High pres will quickly pass offshore N of the region tue. Skies will be mostly sunny to start then will likely see some increase in mainly mid high clouds late espcly srn tier in advance of next system. After cool start temps will warm nicely reaching 75 to 80 again most spots with comfortable humidity. Long term Tuesday night through Monday As of 330 am Monday... A stronger low pressure area and attendant cold front will move across the area Wednesday with high pressure building in through the rest of the week bringing a cooler and drier airmass. Tuesday night through Wednesday night... High pressure migrates off the mid-atlantic coast Tuesday night as a more robust upper level system approaches from the west and an area of low pressure develops across the southeast and deepens as it tracks across the carolina piedmont and offshore Wednesday. Isentropic lift increases across the area Tuesday evening with widespread precip developing across the area after midnight. A warm front will lift across portions of the area Wednesday morning before the cold front pushes through in the afternoon. Modest instability will develop in the warm sector with strong shear and forcing present bringing a chance for thunderstorms ahead of the cold front. There may also be a risk for severe storms as well with MUCAPE values potentially reaching 1000-1500 j kg with deep layer shear around 40 kts. There is some uncertainly in just how much instability will occur though as the 14 00z nam and GFS have trended a little eastward with the low, tracking it near or along the coast, bringing less instability to much of the area, especially inland, however, the cmc and ECMWF still have more of an inland track. We could see beneficial rainfall with models showing widespread QPF amounts around 3 4 to 1 inch. Temps remain seasonably mild Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Lows Tuesday night remain mild ahead of the cold front with low mainly in the mid 60s. Strong caa develops behind the cold front late Wednesday and especially |
Wednesday night with lows expected in the upper 40s to lower 50s inland to mid 50s coast. Thursday through Sunday... Strong high pressure builds in from the west Thursday and Friday bringing dry weather and a much cooler airmass. High expected in the mid to upper 60s with lows in the mid to upper 40s inland to low to mid 50s along the coast. The high migrates offshore over the weekend with ridging building aloft with dry conditions persisting and MAX temps warming into the 70s. Aviation 00z Tuesday through Saturday Short term through Tuesday ... as of 730 pm mon... Primary forecast challenge is potential fog formation late tonight and early Tuesday morning. Based on climatology, several hours of shallow sub-vfr fog are possible at pgv, with guidance also indicating that patchy fog could impact ewn and oaj. Otherwise,VFR conditions and light winds prevail through the period. Long term Tuesday night through Friday ... as of 4 am Monday... A strengthening low pressure area will lift across the area Tuesday night into Wednesday with widespread sub-vfr conditions in showers and isolated thunderstorms expected. A strong cold front will push through Wednesday afternoon with predVFR conditions returning and continuing through the end of the week as strong high pressure builds in from the west. Strong south to southwest winds expected ahead of the front and could see gusts to around 25 kt at the terminals Tuesday night and Wednesday with a period of gusty northwest winds late Wednesday behind the front. Marine Short term through Tue ... as of 220 pm mon... Cold front will drift offshore this evening with high pres building in from the NW overnight. Mainly w winds 5 to 15 kt will become N behind the front. On Tue the high quickly moves offshore to the N with NE winds 5 to 15 kts become e late. Seas mainly 2 to 4 ft tonight and 2 to 3 ft tue.

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. |
