| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 839pm EDT Monday July 13 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Small craft advisory for the northern coastal waters has ended. The threat for heavy rain has diminished across the area. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Brief reprieve from the dangerous heat this week, then hot and humid conditions return by the end of the week. KEY MESSAGE 2...Low pressure developing off the coast of NC is expected to keep a "cooler" northeasterly flow going across ENC through Tuesday. A warming trend ensues on Wednesday with highs climbing back into the low to mid 90s with heat indices in the mid 90s to around 100 degree. Guidance continue to show a strong signal for above normal temperatures Thursday through the weekend with temps well into the 90s and heat indices around 100-110 degrees bringing an increased heat risk once again. Marine Low pressure off the coast will slowly translate eastward along a stalled front just south of the waters and dissipate into Tuesday. Easterly winds remain around 10-20 kt across the central waters where the pressure gradient is tightest, with seas ranging 4-7 ft across the central and northern waters and 2-4 ft across the southern waters. Conditions will gradually improve overnight as the low begins to pull away from the area. The Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for the central coastal waters, Oregon Inlet to Ocracoke Inlet, through late tonight. Outlook (Tuesday through Friday): Low pressure will slowly weaken and move east away from the coast on Tuesday with high pressure building in mid to late week bringing improved boating conditions. Building southwesterly flow is expected by the end of the week.
