The "Great Expedition Hurricane" is North Carolina's latest-in-a-season landfaller on record. Anniversary number 165! Civil War time storm...

Rain chances will perk up this week, but the system in question is looking a bit disjointed so they're not 100%. Dry or mostly dry through Election Tuesday in any case...

Halloween will be the Cape Fear's final 6 o'clock hour sunset of 2026 (6:19 for Wilmington specifically). Sunday rolls back to Standard Time :)

The crisp, chilly air we've been feeling is going a little stale. Temps warming above normal but shy of records...

Tuesday will make ten straight dry days in the Cape Fear, and rain chances will stay slim right through Halloween. NOAA's early November outlook, however, leans wetter at home and across the southern two-thirds of the nation collectively. Very El Ninoy...

Low pressure east of the Outer Banks still has a chance to develop subtropically as it rides the Gulf Stream north. Will continue to be a big swell and surf generator regardless of label...

This forecast: bottle it up and sell it! A few months ago, we were living in the "miserable" dew point zone.

Big storm off the Outer Banks = persistent rip current issues this week.

Low pressure set to form off the Outer Banks is generating a worthy buzz, especially as its track may be erratic. For now I expect the low's main impacts to stay east of the Cape Fear Region, unless you count a persistent north breeze. We'll watch this feature all next week.

Windswept and colder raindrops on this First Alert Weather Day Saturday! Though the chances of rain will be high, rain rates will stay on the lighter to moderate side and there's no risk of severe storms.
