12-foot waves could hit North Carolina this weekend. A strong El Niño may mean more storms

A nor’easter is expected to bring strong winds and high waves to parts of the Outer Banks in North Carolina this weekend, but it’s unclear how long the coastal storm could last.

Waves are forecasted to be 6 to 12-plus feet, with wind gusts forecasted to peak around 50 mph, according to a Friday, Oct. 16, weather briefing from the National Weather Service. “This low forms along the coast here and kind of meanders for several days in the models,” said Ryan Ellis, meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Morehead City office. “And the uncertainty is how long it is going to meander around before it kind of moves offshore and out to sea.

Bryan Norcross: Impactful nor'easter possible next week from North Carolina to New Jersey

The contrast of the cold air behind the front and the warm Gulf Stream ocean water offshore of the Carolinas is expected to energize the formation of a low-pressure system – a nor'easter. Exactly how far offshore it will form, and where it moves, will make a tremendous difference in the severity of the impacts along the East Coast from North Carolina to at least New Jersey.
