Might have missed that 90 today at RDU. Either way, DPs in the low 60's/upper 50's make that near 90 a little more tolerable.
Euro and ICON try to get a coastal going this weekend. Actually close to a big deal eastern sections

91 here today
The highest I saw at RDU today was 89 degrees. It was not the 90 that many people were thinking might happen, but it still shattered the temperature record for this date. We get another chance to set the record for the latest 90 degree day in the year tomorrow.

Topped out at 91.8 at the house, sitting right at 90 at the moment.
I was about to say...all this way and stall out at 89 is a slap in the face.
For old times sake... I for one am going to miss it, sure it had its biases, but it was the gold standard around here for a couple decades sniffing out boundary layer issues in the home stretch.
WOMP, congrats Boone

Local nws office jumping on the weekend coastal low pretty hard.
And possibly Friday.
I'll take a dose what the 0z Ukmet and 6z nam and 6z Roofus below are sniffing.
Will have the rest of the SE done for most of these graphics within the next week or so
Parking this offshore for days is bad for erosion good for our weather. Backing it SW or west or a time would make things really spicy but I dont think the pattern has the umph to drive that.
Might need to get the search party ready

My son has a teacher work day on Monday I was going to take the day off to go fishing. I really need these models to sort this out sooner rather than later
I'm guessing it stays too far offshore to really affect many of us outside coastal sections.
I'd assume MHX and ILM will start hoisting marine advisories with the afternoon package, rapid refresh is Gale conditions for the sounds late Saturday in to Sunday, and pushing Storm criteria for offshore waters. It's a sustained onshore fetch as the low just kind of sits there off Lookout, which isn't going to bode well for Hwy 12.

You forgot the "it has to rain on the weekends" pattern that started this month. Pattern just wants to rain on WNC on Saturdays now. It would be hilarious if this weekend was modeled to be clear and beautiful, but then a subtropical system pops up at the last second and dumps an inch of rain on us on Saturday.
12z says what storm 
What a 36 hour run here12z says what storm

The AI Euro sure hasn't seemed to give up on the system this weekend
Indeed Shaggy although the 12Z UKMET and Icon have it much further offshore than 0Z. And the 12Z CMC has an E coast storm for the first time. Also, the 12Z Euro is the 3rd 0Z/12Z run in a row with it (6Z/18Z still have never had it anywhere near E coast oddly enough…they go out far enough to be able to tell).
18z nam is probably going to go back toward the cutoff from its 12z run but certainly won't be like the bombs from yesterday
Looks like My "last weekend" of King Fishing will be a GAIL wipe-out on the pier, Might have too "Old Drum" fish this weekend..

Pattern starts to change late
Friday, as gradient winds increase ahead of a cold front. Front
moves through very early Sat morning, allowing the winds to
quickly veer from SW to the N, gradually veering even more to
the NNE through the day Saturday into Sunday. Seas will ramp up
in increasing winds ahead of the front through late Fri and
will peak late Saturday into Sunday, ranging from 4-8 ft over
the coastal waters out to 20 nm, to 8-13 ft over the offshore
waters out 60 nm.**
Woomp Woomp.. Currently..
78F at Da pier..
SSW At 8mph..
Humidity 86%
Pressure 30.25 in
Dew Point 73°
For the Swamp assed Coast, (It's actually pleasant) If your on the Pier..

RDU set a record high today but only got to 89 (unless there's a late update like yesterday). Forecasted high tomorrow is 91, so one more shot at the latest 90 degree day. Then the 30 degree drop, which means everyone sensitive to sudden wx changes won’t be having a good time this weekend.
Lol west trend on the 18z Reggie and gfs

Forgive my ignorance but is this merely a coastal low or is it have tropical characteristics?
Trendy, id take this all day
This ain’t my forte, but I assume more extra-tropical/noreasterish than tropical. NHC isn’t dropping hints they would classify it otherwise for now.
