Synopsis for Eastern North Carolina coastal waters
Bermuda high shifts slightly further offshore today as a series of shortwaves and an incoming front will bring increased chances for showers and thunderstorms starting today and persisting through Wednesday. This will also act to bring periods of elevated winds and seas to portions of our coastal waters and larger sounds tonight into Tue as the pressure gradient briefly tightens. Bermuda high pressure then rebuilds back across the area on Thurs.
