***GUSTY NE'RLY WINDS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS THE

 NEUSE RIVER***



Low pressure well offshore has pinched the gradient across Eastern

North Carolina allowing for winds to remain elevated this 

morning. With winds remaining NE'rly, winds have funneled into 

the Neuse River this morning allowing for elevated gusts of 25+ 

kts to occur, especially along the mouth of the Neuse near the 

Pamlico Sound. While these winds are currently elevated current 

forecast calls for winds to gradually ease over the next 2-3 hours

as the aforementioned low pulls away from the region and the 

gradient relaxes. At which point still expecting wind gusts 

around 15-20 kts but they should remain well below 25 kts by this 

afternoon.
