Tornado Threat Could Overperform Across Raleigh, Fayetteville, New Bern, Wilmington and Columbia as Storms Sweep the Carolinas, and a Strong Tornado Is Not Ruled Out

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA — Tornadoes are possible across the Carolinas and southeast Virginia on Friday, November 6, and some forecasters say this setup could overperform. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined only a 2 percent tornado risk, but forecasters see a good chance for tornadoes in a zone covering central and eastern North Carolina and central South Carolina. That includes Raleigh, Fayetteville, New Bern, Wilmington and Columbia. A strong tornado can’t be ruled out. The HRRR model simulated radar for noon EST shows a long line of storms stretching from the Delmarva Peninsula south through Richmond, Raleigh and Fayetteville to near Columbia and Charleston. Residents should stay weather aware throughout the day.

The secret life of pine straw: A North Carolina treasure beneath our feet

Throughout eastern North Carolina, pine straw is such a familiar part of the landscape that we seldom give it much thought. We rake it from lawns, spread it beneath azaleas, and use it to give flowerbeds a neat, finished appearance. Each autumn, countless pine needles drift quietly to the ground, creating the reddish-brown carpet that has become a defining feature of Southern gardens.

Triangle restaurants and cafés face closures and changes. Here's what to know

Several beloved Triangle eateries are closing or relocating as owners cite post-pandemic struggles, oversaturated markets and shifting business conditions. From a longtime vegan standout in Raleigh to a national cookie chain, the local food scene is changing. Here are key takeaways: A fire at Village Coffeehouse in North Raleigh has shuttered the shop indefinitely, joining a wave of Triangle coffee shop setbacks that include The Optimist Raleigh ’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, Bad Brain Coffee Co .’s forced move from Raleigh Iron Works to make way for Drift Coffee + Kitchen, Village Coffeehouse ’s fire and the year-end closure of Parallax Coffee ’s Wendell location. ( Note: Parallax announced on Nov. 5 that they found a temporary space as a pop-up inside Daughters Soft Serve on N. Main Street in Wendell, starting mid-December.) Crumbl Cookies has closed multiple Triangle locations in 2026, including stores in Raleigh’s Six Forks Station, Chapel Hill and Cary’s Parkside, as the national chain reports a 70% drop in sales and its founders search for replacements to take over day-to-day operations. Fiction Kitchen , the influential Raleigh vegan restaurant , will close for good on Nov. 14 after 13 years, with owners Caroline Morrison and Siobhan

"Say glory": North Carolina has so much to celebrate about this election | Opinion

I’m not much accustomed to celebrating elections. Not enough experience, I suppose. Who would have guessed that the most important election of one’s lifetime would turn out to be the best one? My late mother-in-law would have instructed: “Say glory.” Nationally, the renunciation was entire. Senator John Ossoff put it marvelously, as he is increasingly wont to do: “In sweeping and decisive victories, the American people have rebuked the depravity, corruption and incompetence of the failed lame duck president Donald J. Trump.” In North Carolina, we could add, Tar Heels rose dramatically to defeat a loathsome 16-year Republican war on constitutional democracy — a crusade aimed at crushing the poor and the marginalized and lionizing the wealthy and the white. Our Democrats, and their compatriots, delivered a new U.S. Senator, a massively altered and dominant congressional caucus, an inspiring NC Supreme Court justice, a politically balanced state senate and, astonishingly, a boldly Democratic state house. I can barely type the words. It is easy, these days, to look past Roy Cooper — so marvelously he has performed. Almost as if we had a right to expect it. I have great affection for Cooper, in part because he is so different

NC State's Sigma Nu brothers could face charges. Here's how NC law treats hazing

The doors to an NC State University fraternity will remain closed amid an ongoing probe into serious hazing allegations within the organization, university officials and the national organization said this week. But whether fraternity leaders can be criminally charged hinges on North Carolina’s hazing law — a statute that some experts say contains a more narrow definition in comparison to other states. NC State’s Sigma Nu fraternity has been the target of a weeklong investigation into its alleged hazing of new members, with graphic videos and anonymous reports describing pledges enduring physical abuse, pressured drug use, threats and multiple hospitalizations, according to recent search warrants. In a statement to The News & Observer on Friday afternoon, Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman declined to comment on what specific charges the state could consider against Sigma Nu members, but said officials would “follow the evidence wherever it leads in considering what charges are appropriate.” “State law prohibits activities that are defined as hazing,” Freeman wrote in a message. “Abuse under any circumstances is not to be tolerated. It takes courage for victims to speak out. We take protecting our young people seriously and are committed to a thorough investigation and any

Incumbent Donald Davis (D) defeated Laurie Buckhout (R) and Tom Bailey (L) in the general election for North Carolina's 1st Congressional District

Incumbent Donald Davis (D) defeated Laurie Buckhout (R) and Tom Bailey (L) in the general election for North Carolina's 1st Congressional District on November 3, 2026. The election took place in the context of redistricting, which changed the district's boundaries from those used in 2024. Inside Elections' Nathaniel Rakich said, "[T]he 1st District has gone from an evenly divided Baseline (technically, it was ever so slightly Democratic-leaning at D+0.3) to R+8. Some Democratic candidates over the past decade, including current Gov. Josh Stein in 2024 and former Auditor Beth Wood in 2020, would have still won it under the new boundaries, but they are the exception rather than the rule: Republicans would have carried it in 50 of the last 56 statewide elections." President Donald Trump (R) defeated Kamala Harris (D) 55.4%–43.8% in the 2024 presidential election in the 2026 version of the 1st District. As of November 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Toss-up or Lean Democratic.

NC will send a record 5 Black lawmakers to Congress, 150 years after its first

Beyond the major upsets to the Republican Party in North Carolina, Tuesday’s results brought a milestone in racial representation in the state’s congressional delegation. North Carolina’s delegation is poised to flip from 10 Republicans and four Democrats to 10 Democrats and four Republicans, pending the outcome of some races close enough for a recount. It’s also set to include a record five Black members. U.S. Reps. Alma Adams, Valerie Foushee and Don Davis, all Democrats, are North Carolina’s current members of the Congressional Black Caucus. All three won reelection Tuesday. They’ll be joined in Congress by Democrat LaKesha Womack, who defeated first-term Republican Rep. Tim Moore, the longest-serving speaker in N.C. House history, in the 14th Congressional District. Womack owns a business development consulting firm and serves as a mentor in Goldman Sachs’ One Million Black Women: Black in Business program and as chief strategy officer for ASPIRE Community Capital, which lends to entrepreneurs, according to her responses to a candidate questionnaire from The Charlotte Observer and The News & Observer. Also joining them is Democrat Cyril Jefferson, the mayor of High Point and a former councilman, who unseated first-term Republican Rep. Addison McDowell in the 6th District. Jefferson will
