| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 849pm EDT Thu August 6 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Aviation disco Updated. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) A return to more typical summertime pattern through much of the forecast period. KEY MESSAGE 1... An upper ridge and Bermuda high pressure will be centered off the coast through Saturday, becoming suppressed late in the weekend as shortwave energy pushes across the mid- Atlantic. More of a zonal pattern develops next week with a series of shortwave troughs pushing across the area. Precip chances will be near climo each day with widely scattered showers and thunderstorms developing each afternoon, then dissipating with loss of heating during the evening. The severe threat appears minimal through the period with limited shear and forcing. A gradual warming trend will continue through the period as well with highs in the lower 90s inland through the weekend, then warming in to the mid 90s next week. Temps generally in the mid to upper 80s along the coast. The probabilities for Major Heat Risk increase to around 60-80% Monday through Thursday of next week. Marine Bermuda high will remains in control as it sits off the coast. S to SW winds around 5-15 kt with seas around 2-4 ft continue to prevail. As we move into tomorrow, somewhat stronger winds are possible during the late afternoon and evening hours Friday through the weekend as temps warm inland, bringing a tightening of gradients between the thermal trough inland and the offshore high. Gusts may approach SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions across the Pamlico, Croatan/Roanoke Sounds and coastal waters north of Cape Hatteras at times. Ongoing showers and thunderstorms over the inland rivers and near the Gulf Stream are expected to dissipate late this afternoon with quieter conditions into Friday night. Nearshore coastal waters should have less convective coverage this afternoon. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase Saturday into early next week as a trough of low pressure rotates around the Bermuda High and off the NC coast.
