NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Sat Oct 9 2021

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. A well-defined, non-tropical low pressure system located about 200
miles southeast of Morehead City and Wilmington, North Carolina,
continues to produce a large area of cloudiness and disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions could briefly
become marginally conducive for the low to acquire subtropical
characteristics through early Sunday. However, by late Sunday and
Monday, environmental conditions should become unfavorable for any
further development. The low is forecast to move slowly
northwestward during the next day or so, and approach the North
Carolina coast tonight and early Sunday. Therefore, interests along
the North Carolina coast should monitor the progress of this
system.

Regardless of development, intermittent periods of locally heavy
rains and gusty winds will affect southeastern and eastern portions
of North Carolina during the next day or two. An Air Force Reserve
reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the low this
afternoon. Additional information on this system, including gale
warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service
can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01
KWBC, and online at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php
