Happy Veterans Day! Thanks to servicemembers, and their families.

The Cape Fear's next batch of chilly air will slide in on breezy to blustery winds. Weekend frost formation will hinge on whether these winds slacken enough in the nights; temps certainly look like they'll get cold enough.

The Cape Fear's first widespread fall frosts are possible this weekend. Still a couple of boxes to check but, if you're a gardener, this should be on your radar at least.

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

The second week of November will certainly be more refrigerated than the first. By next weekend, there's even the potential for the Cape Fear's first widespread frost of the season. Lots of great fall weather to enjoy!

During one of our late summer heat waves, I recall watching the sun rise directly over the Cape Fear Bridge from this camera. On this November 8, both the sunrise direction and the temperature have shifted about 40 degrees lower!

The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Warning for parts of the Lower Cape Fear. If you're in the warned area, seek shelter in a sturdy building, on the lowest level, and in an interior room.

Showers and storms continue their march across the Cape Fear this Friday. Some cells may exhibit gusty winds and brief rotation through sunset. Careful braking on wet leaves and oily pavement (it hasn't rained much if at all in three weeks). Gorgeous weekend follows this line

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

It hasn't rained in going on three weeks. Guarded optimism for Friday...

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

Balmy through Friday, but crisper and nice for the weekend... Looks great for the parade!

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

Add a couple extra minutes to your drive this morning.

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

Nice one across the Cape Fear...

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

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...

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

@dirtywaterdevil Yes.

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

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

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

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 :)
