Discussion for Newport/Morehead City, NC
MARINE... SHORT TERM /through Saturday/... As of 0400 PM Friday... Winds are currently coming from the S/SW, gusting up to 15kts. These conditions will continue until Saturday morning, when wind gusts lessen to sub 10kts, still coming from the S/SW. As the pressure gradient starts tightening Saturday evening, southerly winds start to approach 10G15kts, and will continue to increase going into the long term. Seas are currently 2-4 ft with periods of 10-13 seconds (immediate waters off of Crystal Coast are calmer) and will remain mostly unchanged through Saturday. LONG TERM /Saturday night through Wednesday/... As of 300 AM Friday... KEY MESSAGES 1) Hazardous marine conditions expected Saturday night into Monday FORECAST DETAILS Boating conditions begin to worsen Saturday night, becoming hazardous Sunday through Monday as a cold front moves through. Ahead of the front, strong southerly Gales will develop, with a few storm force gusts possible over the warmer Gulf Stream waters. Seas will build to 7-14 ft during this time, highest from Cape Hatteras south. Across the cooler waters, winds will be near, or just below, gale force. A Gale Watch has been issued for all coastal waters and the Pamlico Sound Sunday night into Monday morning. Behind the front, gusty northwesterly winds of 20-30kt will continue into Monday morning before gradually laying down. Seas will take some time to lay down, but should fall to 4-6 ft by Monday night or Tuesday. Along the front, widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected. With such strong winds aloft, any shower or thunderstorm will be capable of producing areas of enhanced winds. Over the warmer waters, the showers and thunderstorms will likely be what helps produce occasional storm- force gusts.
