Whats that off the NC coast? I think it might still be somewhat attached to the front offshore, but latest Satellite and Radar are certainly intriguing.

Fun to watch and has slowly gotta more organized, places in NE SC do not wanna see this thing retrograde back onshore after all the rain the got yesterday. Water temps are in the low 70's out there but the buoys out there are somewhat interesting..

Indeed, winds are increasing too. Not seeing any major surface pressure falls yet though.

NHC with a special outlook on this area 20% hatch seems they are not too impressed....still nice to see something like this in May and in my backyard to boot.

Is this forecasted to move southwestard. Stationary or loop back up to the north. I will take pics if it hits me and comes on shore.

This is from MHX NWS office for eastern NC in regards to this low from the overnight AFD

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/...

AS OF 241 AM SAT...NAM CONTINUES TO DEEPEN THE SURFACE LOW TONIGHT.

UPPER PATTERN SUPPORTS A MORE OPEN...LESS DEEP LOW...SO WILL LEAN

MORE TOWARD ENSEMBLES SOLUTION FOR TONIGHT. THIS BRINGS THE SURFACE

LOW FURTHER NORTH AND RETROGRADES TOWARD THE COAST SLOWER THAN THE

NAM. HOWEVER THIS ALLOWS MORE ENERGY OVER THE COASTAL SECTIONS FOR

INCREASED CHANCES OF PRECIP ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT. ENSEMBLE BLEND

OF TEMPERATURES HAS MID 50S AWAY FROM THE COAST WITH MID 60S ALONG

THE COAST. STILL DONT EXPECT MUCH IN THE WAY OF QPF AS MAJORITY OF

PRECIP WILL FALL OVER THE WATERS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

AS OF 310 AM SATURDAY...MDLS SHOW SIMILAR TRENDS OF STACKED LOW

PRESSURE DRIFTING W AND ONSHORE SUNDAY INTO MON...THEN SLOWLY

LIFTING NE OF REGION TUE AS NEXT SRT WAVE APPROACHES. DETAILS REMAIN

UNCERTAIN ON POSITION OF SFC LOW AND QPF...HOWEVER GENERAL TRENDS

WILL BE FOR INCREASING MOISTURE AND BETTER CVRG OF SHRA SUN INTO

MON. INCREASED POPS TO HIGH CHC SUN AND INLAND MON...LATER SHIFTS

MAY BE ABLE TO BUMP THESE UP TO LIKELY IN AREAS IF MDLS COME INTO

MORE AGREEMENT. AS MOISTURE INCREASES SUN AND MON WILL SEE SOME

WEAK INSTAB DEVELOP SO ADDED MENTION OF TSRA ALL BUT DEEP INLAND

AREAS SUNDAY AFTN AND ALL LOCATION MON. WILL CONT TO SEE SCT SHRA

AND FEW TSRA INTO TUE AS INIT SYSTEM LIFTS SLOWLY NE AND NEXT ONE

APPROACHES.
