Discussion for Wilmington, NC
MARINE... Through Saturday...Isolated instances of heavy rain are possible over the waters near the coast with increasing coverage expected late tonight as a front moves through early Saturday. Visibilities may become 3 SM or lower in heavy rain. Improving conditions are expected Saturday as drier air filters in behind the front and high pressure builds from the north. This will bring stronger NE flow 15- 20 kts with gusts remaining sub-SCA thresholds. Seas will be 2-4 ft. Saturday night through Wednesday... A bit of a NE surge expected on Sat night into Sun as high pressure builds down the coast behind cold front. Winds will come back around to onshore by Sun night and a more typical southerly direction Mon into midweek as Bermuda High begins to dominate again. Seas will increase in NE surge behind front Sat night into Sun, up to 3 to 4 ft, but as winds diminish through Sun, seas will subside back down to 2 to 3 ft by Sun night and remain 3 ft or less for the most part into midweek. A minimal SE swell will mix in.
