| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 336pm EDT Sunday Jun 7 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Marine headlines have been adjusted based on the latest wind and wave guidance. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Hot and mostly dry conditions continue today, along with an increased fire danger for all of ENC. 2) Low-end thunderstorm risk this evening into Monday afternoon. 3) Risk of dangerous heat later this week KEY MESSAGE 1...Toasty, above normal temperatures will flirt with records across inland zones this afternoon as ENC resides under notably warm low-level thicknesses in a southwest low- level flow regime. See the CLIMATE section below for additional information on today's records. With ongoing drought conditions, today's heat will continue to support elevated fire concerns areawide. In coordination with the NCFS, an Increased Fire Danger Statement is in effect until 8pm this evening. KEY MESSAGE 2...A cold front will slide south through Virginia today and is forecast to reach NE NC by late this evening. Scattered showers and weak thunderstorms will be possible along the front tonight, generally in the Albemarle Sound/HWY 264 corridor, but the environment will become less favorable by this time, therefore minimizing the severe threat. The front will then continue to move south across ENC tomorrow, veering the winds to the NE through the day. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to redevelop tomorrow afternoon south of HWY 70, but modest instability and weak shear will keep the severe threat at bay. KEY MESSAGE 3...Confidence is increasing for dangerous heat to impact the area later this week and into this weekend (Thursday - Saturday). An increase in humidity will make the feels like temperatures soar into the 100-105+ degree range, which could eventually lead to a Heat Advisory being needed for portions of the area away from the immediate coast. Marine SW winds at 10-20 kt with gusts to 15-25 kt will persist through this evening before relaxing a bit ahead of a southbound cold front that will veer the winds to the north overnight and into tomorrow. The latest guidance favors a quicker drop off of SCA winds tonight, so remaining headlines for the coastal waters south of Oregon Inlet and Pamlico Sound have been adjusted accordingly. By tomorrow afternoon, winds will be out of the NE at 15-20 kt but gusts should remain below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria. 3-5 ft seas are expected across the 0-20 nm zones with 5-7 ft seas developing north of Cape Hatteras in the 20-60 nm zones tomorrow afternoon. Outlook: High pressure will move in on Tuesday with good boating conditions expected for the next several days.
