Gusty Southwest winds are occurring ahead of a cold front moving across eastern NC today. Sustained winds across the Neuse and Bay Rivers were 20 to 30 knots with a funneling effect down the length of the rivers resulting in occasional wind gusts up to 40 knots. These conditions are expected to persist for the remainder of the afternoon as deeper mixing occurs ahead of an area of rain which is currently moving through the area this afternoon. Mariners of small craft should prepare for these strong winds and remain in port until conditions improve. $$
