.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
Hazardous marine conditions have built across all the waters this
afternoon and will persist into Thursday as a mix of small crafts
and gales are currently noted across the area out ahead of an
approaching cold front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
forecast along and just south of the aforementioned frontal
boundary as well. Gales are currently relegated to the far outer
coastal waters 20+ NM north of Ocracoke Inlet. These hazardous
conditions will remain in place until the previously mentioned
front stalls across the region on Thurs. Once front stalls, expect
N-NEerly winds N of the boundary, S-SW S of the boundary. But
boating conditions do improve through the weekend.
