.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 easterly winds Saturday night (gales) becoming
southerly to southwesterly Sunday, with gale-force winds
developing for much of the coastal waters, especially with the
easterly winds through Saturday night. High seas will accompany
these strong winds and build to as high as 8-11 ft over the outer
coastal waters. Southwest winds decrease late Sunday and become
west by Monday behind a cold front.
