Cold rain is set to return to much of North Carolina for the end of the week, and it may start as a wintry mix for some. Here's more on our Friday forecast: specne.ws/DyyLk8 #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

While most of NC is seeing a cold rain, warmer air has arrived along parts of the coast. This could support a low risk for a brief tornado near coastal Onslow & Carteret Counties to near Cape Hatteras. #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Are you hoping for snow this winter or hoping it stays away? Here are my thoughts on the winter outlook for North Carolina: specne.ws/pVGipZ #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Good Monday morning and happy December 1! We'll be cool and dry across North Carolina today ahead of a system that will make for a soggy Tuesday: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Good Monday morning! Today will be sunny but cooler than the weekend. Warmer days will return later in the week: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Happy Friday! All-day sunshine will take us from a chilly start early this morning to a mild afternoon. Even warmer days are in the forecast for the weekend: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Good Thursday morning! Plenty of sun mixed with clouds in parts of the state will take us from a chilly start this morning to a pleasant afternoon. Here's more on our forecast in the days ahead: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

While there's no guarantee, there's a chance we could see the Northern Lights again in North Carolina tonight. Here's what to look for: specne.ws/FMC2GS #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Northern Lights seen in Pamlico County last night! Thanks to Paige Diaz for the photo from Bayboro! #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Snow flurries Monday night were just enough to leave a dusting on vehicles in Goldston. Thanks to John Gunter for the photo! #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Good Thursday morning! It's shaping up to be another beautiful fall day across NC: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Severe drought conditions are expanding in North Carolina. Here's this week's drought update: specne.ws/cYwjKU #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Another sunny day will take us from a chilly morning to a mild afternoon in most of the state. There's an increased fire danger for this afternoon due to wind gusts up to 20mph and low humidity: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

It's shaping up to be another nice fall day across North Carolina. However, there's an increased fire danger due to gusty winds, low humidity, and the recent dry conditions. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged today: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Good Monday morning! We're in for a sunny day across NC and another great day for the N.C. State Fair: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

The forecast is looking great for opening day of the N.C. State Fair: specne.ws/UZKaNb #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

"All traces of civilization on the immediate waterfront between the state line and Cape Fear were practically annihilated." It's been 71 years since a category 4 hurricane hit North Carolina. A look back to Hurricane Hazel: specne.ws/KrNa29 #ncwx

Another house collapsed at the Outer Banks late Friday afternoon. This collapse occurred in Rodanthe and makes the 9th home to fall this week along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore beaches: spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/coastal/n... #ncwx #obx

Another house collapsed in Buxton along North Carolina's Outer Banks Thursday afternoon. Spectrum News 1 reporter Lauren Howard captured this video as the home fell. It was the 8th collapse this week and the 20th since 2020 along Cape Hatteras National Seashore beaches. #ncwx #obx

A 6th home collapsed overnight in Buxton according to the National Park Service. #ncwx #obx

5 unoccupied homes collapsed around 2 and 2:45 pm today in Buxton along the Outer Banks. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore says further collapses are possible due to this week's ocean conditions. Photo of one of the collapsed homes courtesy National Park Service. #ncwx

Good Thursday morning! It will feel like summer in much of North Carolina again today. As a front slowly moves into the state from the west, scattered storms will be possible from near the mountains to central NC. #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Thanks to @drkimwood.bsky.social for making this graphic of #Helene. What I find interesting is that it wasn't in Southern Appalachia for that long. But the predecessor rainfall event that came before Helene was the 1-2 punch that brought devastation to the area.

We'll need to watch the tropics closely over the next several days. Here's the latest: specne.ws/moTNZm #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Good Wednesday morning! We may be in the first few days of fall, but this afternoon will feel a lot more like summer in much of North Carolina: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Good Tuesday morning! There's a slight chance for an isolated shower or storm in the mountains and near the coast today. Much of North Carolina will stay dry and warm today though. #ncwx #WeatherOnthe1s

Fall officially begins this afternoon, but it won't feel much like fall today. #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

If you were up early, you may have seen a bright light streak through the sky just after 5:30am. A SpaceX rocket launched from Florida was seen in the sky over North Carolina. Thanks to Jan Suren for this photo from Raleigh. Read more about the launch: specne.ws/omLLDz

On September 14, 2005, I walked in the door to what was then News 14 Carolina for the first time. Hurricane Ophelia was moving up the Outer Banks. Twenty years later, we've been through all sorts of storms together. #ncwx

Good morning and happy Friday! It shaping up to be a nice day across NC to end the week. Check our weekend forecast: spectrumlocalnews.com/weather #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

Our Thursday (9/11/25) forecast looks similar to yesterday. We'll see a lot of clouds in the eastern half of North Carolina and plenty of sun in the western half of the state. From Raleigh to the east, spotty, light showers are possible. #ncwx

Clouds will linger across the eastern half of NC today. The western half of NC will see more sun. Light showers are possible for northeastern NC and the Outer Banks. Some of those light showers could work their way into more of eastern and central NC from this evening through tomorrow AM. #ncwx

It's shaping up to be another nice day for much of NC. You'll see more sun the farther west you go in the state and more cloud cover to the east. There's just a slight chance for a brief, light shower near the OBX. Otherwise, dry weather is expected to continue for a while. #ncwx

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is strangely quiet for the climatological peak week, but even since 2000, plenty of other years were quieter through September 8: 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2022.

It may only take 1-2" of rain in a 1-3 hour period late today and tonight to cause flooding in areas that saw flooding from #Chantal: specne.ws/Kyd2Y8 #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

#Chantal is just one example in a troubling trend: spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/triangle-... #ncwx

A tropical depression or weak tropical storm could form off the coast of the Carolinas this 4th of July weekend. Here's the latest: specne.ws/1N9SQa #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s

If the comments section of my social media this week is any indication, this heat is getting to a lot of us. 🥵 Asking for a “goofy” friend of mine, if you find one of these weather rocks this weekend, could you let me know? 😀

On this first day of summer, meteorologists around the world are showing our stripes. The warming stripes were originally designed by Professor Ed Hawkins as a visual representation of the long-term rise in global temperatures due to human-caused climate change. #ShowYourStripes

As NC continues to recover from Helene and a warming climate brings increasing threats from storms, it's time to prepare for another hurricane season. If you missed our special this week, catch it again this weekend on Spectrum News 1. #ncwx #WeatherOnThe1s
