Looks like the weekend may be shot. Hope you all do okay...
 
I was wondering the same thing. Considering going w/friends to Wilmington this weekend for a few dives. But wondering if that will be cancelled.
 
Hard to tell at this point. My guess is it may be a call Saturday morning uness something changes. Keep in mind I am hardly an expert on NC Diving let along translating the forcast information

Please let me know how bad vis drops over the next 2 days. I am hoping to dive Sunday and Labor day as well.
 
BigWhiteSquare:
It's been a great season so far. I'm suprised we haven't had more storms than this.

wind shear over the atlantic has not been favorable so far. the pacific has been pretty active...
 
Glad it's not as damaging as once feared. :thumb: Good luck on the dives. I'm leaving in a few hours for Seattle. The sound there is very tide dependent, and it's supposed to be a great weekend. :D
