By mid to late week highs will again be back into the 80s for most of the area. A backdoor front will eventually cross the FA THU, but at this time just looks to be a wind shift with the column ahead of, along, and near the front being almost completely devoid of moisture. KEY MESSAGE 2...A stronger cold front will push through the area Friday night, with strong high pressure building in for the weekend. Front looks moisture starved, but could bring scattered shower chances.

N-NW winds continue to trend a bit stronger behind the front, which could bring dangerous marine conditions along with the potential for coastal impacts for vulnerable locations along OBX. Though too soon for any specifics. Marine Latest obs show NW winds generally 15-20 with some gusts<25kt with seas 4 to 6ft. Cold front will continue to push offshore.
