Watch for showers and storms through Saturday

As of 1:30 PM Friday, the WITN First Alert Weather team canceled the First Alert Weather Day for the rest of the afternoon and evening on August 28. The severe threat has slowly diminished for Eastern NC. The marginal risk of storms that was in place earlier for the region is now back west and north of I-95 to Virginia. This is all thanks to the stabilization of the atmosphere and cloud cover from Thursday evening through this morning.

Cloudy skies may spoil the view of rare celestial event in eastern North Carolina

Eastern North Carolina stargazers are keeping their fingers crossed for a rare celestial treat, but local weather may spoil the view. Overnight Thursday, Earth’s shadow will block out 96.3% of the full Sturgeon Moon. Because nearly the entire moon will be plunged into darkness, it will take on a striking, rusty crimson glow, closely mimicking a total "Blood Moon."

Comfortable conditions fade as weekend approaches

The comfortable weather we’ve seen the past two days will be back again to start Wednesday. Highs will be back in the mid to upper 80s with relatively low humidity. However, winds will shift through the day, starting out of the north to the southeast. This shift will bring back enough atmospheric moisture to turn the end of the week wet with rain.

The foggy mornings of August

The Dog Days of summer came to an end earlier this month and this event marked the halfway mark of summer. The crickets and Katydids have been singing about it for more than a month. The humidity has eased off a bit and there is a slight nip in the late August air after midnight. The golden rods and Jerusalem artichokes are displaying their golden glow and most August mornings are adorned with a layer of fog which my Northampton County grandma always referred to them as indicators of snowfalls that the up and coming winter would bring. Days are getting shorter by a minute each evening and we have lost an hour of daylight since June 21. The mid-summer dews of late August The morning dews of late August mornings linger until almost noon because the dews are getting cooler and the sun takes longer to dry it off. Wet dew is also sticky so please do not mow dew-laden grass because it causes grass clippings to stick to the blades and housing of the mower and piles wet clippings on the lawn and causes you to track the wet clippings into the house.
