MARINE... SHORT TERM /through Tonight/... As of 300 AM Wed... - Coastal low to bring elevated winds and seas SCA's are now in effect for all of the eastern NC waters. Latest obs show northerly winds 10 to 15 kt with seas 2-3 ft early this morning. Winds will increase to 15-25 kt with a few gusts to 30 kt this afternoon and tonight as low pressure develops off of the coast. 2-3 ft seas this morning will build to 3-5 ft by this afternoon and 4-6 ft tonight (especially north of Cape Lookout). As the coastal low develops, there will be an increased risk of rain and reduced visibility later today and tonight, especially across the northern and central coastal waters. LONG TERM /Thursday through Sunday/... As of 3 AM Wed... Will have SCA's across all waters to start the period before SCA's gradually end across our inland waters Thurs afternoon and evening. Surface low will continue to deepen off our coast as it tracks NE'wards Thurs. This will keep 15-25 kt N'rly winds with 25-30+ kt gusts over all our waters through Thurs morning before winds gradually decrease to sub SCA levels across our inland rivers and sounds Thurs afternoon and evening. In addition to this, scattered shower activity will be possible as well mainly from the waters north of Cape Hatteras as wrap around moisture from this deepening low remains over the area. Winds ease overnight as high pressure builds in from the west and the pressure gradient relaxes. Forecasting N'rly winds at 10-20 kts with gusts around 20-25 kts from Fri through the weekend across most waters before winds ease even further on Mon next week as the pressure gradient relaxes further with high pressure ridging centered overhead. Seas along the coast start out around 4-6 ft Thurs and as elevated NE'rly swell from the departing low overspreads the area seas will build across our coastal waters north of Cape Lookout to 6-9 ft over this weekend with seas gradually lowering by early next week. South of Cape Hatteras seas will be a little bit lower as they will be protected from the NE'rly swell generally ranging from 3-5 to 4-6 ft from Fri on into this weekend. Given this all waters north of Cape Lookout now have SCA's extending well into the weekend.
