- The latest Saharan Dust Model shows the dust making its way into North Carolina this coming weekend. If current trends persist the dust appears substantial enough to dim our incoming sunlight. We will follow this all week. @wralweather
- Pre-sunrise view of downtown Raleigh this Tuesday morning rates as pretty much postcard-worthy!
- Are you seeing the creepy orange sky this evening? The setting sun is hitting the base of the clouds lighting them up in orange. Very cool.
- Update: we hit 100 at RDUToday is officially the hottest October day on record at RDU airport with a high of 99° as of 1:16 PM. This also breaks the daily high temperature record for today. This ties for the hottest day so far this year at RDU!
- Rain this morning changing to a mix late today. Winter Weather Advisory in effect at 3pm. Slick bridges tonight #wral
- We shifted the snow totals farther south and east as the upper level low should move from west to east across the state depositing some snow. Remember the track of the upper low will dictate the snow swath and totals. @wralweather
- The Climate Prediction Center outlook for the next 8-14 days shows well below average temperatures. We are expecting January like temperatures this weekend, and next week, break out the winter clothes.
- Snow is falling in the mountains this afternoon with more to come. The heaviest snow will fall in the Winter Storm Warning area. Boone area should see up to 4" in spots. Wish I could take a road trip!
- The record streak at RDU has mercifully ended, as a 31 degree temperature at 10AM (the 201st consecutive reading at 32 or below) was followed by 37 degrees at 11AM. We ran way past the old 157-hour record, which ended on January 16, 1982.
- 5pm update: Most likely, boom, and bust scenarios. Starts 8-10p as rain, changes over to snow for many. #ncwx
