SYNOPSIS FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL WATERS
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA THIS WEEKEND AS THE
REMNANTS OF ISAIAS MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE GULF COAST STATES. THE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS WILL LEAD TO A PERIOD OF
MODERATE TO STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS THIS WEEKEND, WITH GALE-FORCE
WINDS POSSIBLE FOR SOME WATERS. THIS WILL LEAD TO ELEVATED SEAS AS
WELL. THE STRONGER WINDS WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASED
RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS. SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS DEVELOP EARLY NEXT
WEEK IN THE WAKE OF THE WEEKEND WINDS AND ELEVATED SEAS.
