.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
A tight pressure gradient will persist into this evening as
strong high pressure ridge builds in from the north while a low

craft and gale force conditions across our waters. Winds will
begin to ease sunset tonight allowing for better marine
conditions across the inside. However, elevated seas will linger
across the coastal waters keeping small craft advisories in place
into this weekend.
