Forecast for Marine Location Near Ocracoke, NC
Discussion for Newport/Morehead City, NC
MARINE... SHORT TERM /through Thursday/.. As of 200 PM Wednesday... - Building winds and seas through Thursday High pressure over the Northeast U.S. will shift east into the northern Atlantic through Thursday. Meanwhile, a weak area of low pressure is forecast to continue moving west through the SW Atlantic. In between these two features, a tightening pressure gradient is expected to support easterly winds building to 10-20kt through Thursday, with higher gusts. The combination of the building winds and the persistent easterly flow should allow seas to build to 4-6 ft from south to north across the coastal waters on Thursday. Prior to that, seas will generally be in the 2-4 ft range. Through Thursday, we'll plan to keep the ongoing marine hazards as-is, mainly focused on the risk of 6 ft seas across the coastal waters from Oregon Inlet south through Surf City. LONG TERM /Thursday night through Monday/... As of 330 AM Wednesday...Guidance continues to show a ridge of high pressure wedged across portions of the Carolinas through Sat while a stalled boundary currently well south of the area in the northern Gulf of Mexico lifts N'wards. Guidance has trended towards a tighter pressure gradient across our waters resulting in slightly stronger winds towards the end of this week and into this weekend. Given this have increased NE-E'rly winds across our waters to 15-20 kts by Thurs evening, with winds changing little though this weekend. In addition to this, seas will gradually increase across our coastal waters late this weekend with the approach of a developing low pressure system off the Southeastern Coast resulting in seas building to 5-8 ft across our coastal zones by Sun. As a result have recently hoisted SCA's for the coastal waters south of Oregon Inlet with the SCA's persisting into the end of the period. Will likely need SCA's for the coastal waters north of Oregon Inlet later this week as well given current trends.
