.Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters...
High pressure ridging centered in the Atlantic continues to
extend west towards the Eastern Seaboard into next week. A cold
front will approach ENC from the west tonight and on Sunday
before stalling and eventually dissipating across the Piedmont
Sunday evening into Monday. Increased chances of precip will
remain possible through Sunday before the front dissipates.
More diurnally driven shower and thunderstorm activity is then
forecast from early in the week to about midweek before the next
front approaches and interacts with moisture from the remnants
of Beryl bringing increased precipitation chances.
