Coastal Flood Statement Statement as of 2:51 am EDT on July 18, 2008
... High threat of rip currents in effect through this evening for
area beaches from Duck to Rodanthe...
The combination of onshore winds... lingering easterly swell... and
low tides during the early afternoon hours will continue to lead
to a high threat of rip currents Friday for area beaches north of
Rodanthe. This includes the beaches of Duck... Kitty Hawk... and Nags
Head. The most likely time for life threatening rip currents will
be a couple of hours either side of low tide. Low tide is expected
to occur around 200 PM this afternoon.
Rip currents are strong... narrow channels of water that flow out
to sea. If you become caught in a rip current... remain calm. Try
to swim on a course that is parallel to the beach until you get
away from the rip... then swim in to shore. Do not try to swim
back to shore directly against the rip... since it can exhaust and
even kill the strongest swimmer.
Always heed the advice of lifeguards. Pay attention to flags and
signs posted near beach access points and lifeguard stations.

NWS Forecaster Discussion
750 fxus62 kmhx 181450 afdmhx Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 1050 am EDT Friday Jul 18 2008 Synopsis... low pressure off the Georgia coast will drift north or northeast and be located near the North Carolina coast later Sunday. The low will then lift NE and away from the region Monday and Monday night. High pressure will continue offshore next week as a cold front very slowly approaches from the west Tuesday into Thursday. && Near term /until 6 PM this evening/... have raised afternoon maxt a few degrees based on current temperature trends. Also made minor adjustments to sky and pop grids based on trends in satl/radar. Band of showers/isolated tstrms well north of main circulation off Georgia coast rotating into the ilm area this late morning. Much of this activity will stay south of forecast area this afternoon but have kept a good chance for Onslow/Duplin counties with lessening chances as you go north. Low located off the Georgia CST is going to move slowly and this shld keep deepest moisture and better rain chance S of region. Will be close enough to go with chance probability of precipitation southern tier later today with small to no probability of precipitation north. With decent amount of sun will have highs in the lower 90s inland and north to middle/upper 80s obx and S CST. && Short term /6 PM this evening through Saturday night/... given weak steering the low to the S will move slowly with models showing it staying close the the CST as it moves mainly north-northeast. Followed close to the GFS with increasing chances of rain showers and a few thunderstorms and rain Sat into sun when the low moves close to NC. Kept likely probability of precipitation confined to southern and imd coastal sites where moisture/convergence expected to be better. With increasing moisture and slow motion of low some areas could see some training of rain showers/thunderstorms and rain with locally very heavy rainfall poss. Will have to monitor low closely for increasing tropical development espcly if it stays over warm water and doesnt move over land. Highs will continue around 90 inland and north Sat and sun with less rain potential with mainly middle 80s CST. && Long term /Sunday through Thursday/... as low moves to the NE Monday will have decreasing probability of precipitation with schc by afternoon all areas. With high offshore and front well to the west kept only slight probability of precipitation in for Tuesday and Wednesday...as front approaches Thursday increased probability of precipitation to chance all areas. No changes to previous temperatures. && Aviation /15z Friday through Tuesday/... low level moisture increasing as winds veer more easterly today. Stratus layer has lifted and scattered scatter out in increased boundary layer. Could see some convection at mainly the coastal terminals today and continue to handle that with vcts/cb. Probability for widespread MVFR (ocnl ifr) conds will be increasing this weekend as low pressure slowly moves up along the coast and draws in deep moisture/more widespread precipitation. && Marine... near term...no significant changes to morning update. Winds currently east around 10 knots and seas 2 to 4 feet. Winds will be veering more the southeast and increase a bit later in the day...as well as building seas as low pressure moves northward. Rest of marine forecast is tricky as it hinges heavily on eventual track and intensity of low pressure now off Georgia coast...which has the potential to develop into a tropical depression. NAM/European model (ecmwf) are now in better agreement with slower solution and keeping the system offshore. Southeast/S winds will be increasing along the Carolina coast Saturday. Likely to see SC conditions develop Saturday into Sunday. Have put SC seas in forecast...but for now kept winds under 20 knots. Model trends will need to be closely monitored given the potential marine impacts of a deepening coastal system this weekend. High pressure will build in behind as low exits Tuesday...giving way to SW winds generally 10 to 15 knots and seas 3 to 4 feet. && Mhx watches/warnings/advisories... NC...none. Marine...none. && $$ Synopsis...rf near term...btc/rf short term...rf long term...rf aviation...rsb/cqd marine...rsb/cqd
