The likely coastal storm next week spells serious trouble for our coastline. Things are already fragile after the nor'easter a few weeks ago.

A stalled out storm no matter how strong will cause problems along the coast next week if it unfolds like the Euro/Euro AI depict.

The big question is track and strength which we will iron out over the coming days.

Bring your pumpkins in so they don't melt today.

Record highs will be challenged across the Carolinas with highs approaching 90 for some.

Temperatures plummet this weekend with highs only in the 50/60s, and a frost/freeze possible in the Mountains/Foothills.

The Euro is all in on a long-lasting Nor'easter next week. Most other guidance hasn't caught on, but the Euro AI also has it which is enough for me.

This would be a big wrench in the forecast for next week, stay tuned...

I have elected to pretend today's weather is not happening.

The good news is this weekend is prime pumpkin carving weather!

Be mindful some of us will run into our first frost/freeze of the season in the mountains and foothills.

Now that the tropics have turned quiet again, let’s look ahead to this winter.

A super El Niño means big boom/bust potential for the Carolinas.

There have only been 3 super El Niños on record since 1950. Here’s what happened in each of those winters. We know it will be wet. The question is whether the cold air can line up with it.

Are you team boom or team bust? 👇

Did you see it???

While it may look like the alien invasion was here just in time for Halloween, not quite.

This morning's Space X launch out of Floridia lit up clear skies across the Carolinas.

Did you catch it? Drop your pics below 👇

Isaias did a number, as a regional tornado outbreak worked through the Carolinas this weekend.

Here are the facts:
- SC averaged only 47 October tornadoes in 76 years. Isaias added 6 in two days, about one-eighth of SC’s entire October history.

- NC had 10 in one afternoon, about a third of a normal year.

- Sunday’s 11 Carolina tornadoes tie for the third-most on any October day since 1950. The record is 13, set twice in October 2017: Oct. 8 (Nate) and Oct. 23. The pending surveys could tie it.

Surveys are still pending in Harnett County and western Wake County, so this number is likely to rise further.
