.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
A tight pressure gradient will build into the area this evening as
a cold front pushes off the coast and strong high pressure ridge
builds in from the north. At the same time, a low will ride along
the aformentioned front and tighten the graident even further
tonight allowing for a mix of small craft and gale force
conditions across our waters starting this evening and persisting
into Wed night. The pressure gradient will eventaully relax later
this week allowing for better marine condtions across the inland
waters. However, 6+ ft seas will linger across the caostal waters
keeping small craft advisories in place into this weekend.
