Key US midterm states could see Election Day storms. What about North Carolina?

Severe storms on Election Day could be an issue for a large chunk of the country, but Carolinians won’t be able to use that as an excuse for not going to the polls Tuesday. Fact is, the weather will be perfect across North Carolina, with highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s and no rain. This includes Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh and even Morehead City on the coast. The main weather threat for the nation is “ thunderstorms from the Southwest into the central United States,” according to AccuWeather. So will candidates need to worry in those states? Apparently not much, experts say. The impact of rain on voter turnout amounts to around 1% , based on data collected in North Carolina during three U.S. presidential elections. The report was published in 2024 in ScienceDirect. “While I find that rainfall continues to slightly dampen turnout overall, the results suggest that the negative effects on in-person Election Day voting are partially offset by increased use of alternate voting methods,” wrote the study’s data curator Nick Turner. “These methods, including mail voting and early/absentee voting, allow voters to cast their ballots while avoiding the costs of heading to the polling place in

King tides flood NC's coastal roads, signaling dangers of sea level rise

North Carolina’s embattled coast was once again awash with floodwaters this week — not from a hurricane or a nor’easter, but from a king tide, a cyclical weather event during which high tides reach abnormally high levels. King tides are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon as it reaches perigee, the point in the moon’s orbit when it’s closest to Earth. These tides are most common during a new moon, or in the case of this week’s tides, a full moon. As a result, North Carolina’s Outer Banks and Crystal Coast saw water wash onto roads this week, according to Rohan Jain, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Newport office. “The tides will be improving and coming down in the coming days here, but we’re no stranger to king tides in Eastern North Carolina,” Jain said. “Fall into winter is when we tend to see them, and with how low-lying some of our areas are, we’re definitely no stranger to them.” This week has been far from the highest king tides North Carolina has seen, though other parts of the country were hit with record flooding this week as a result of these tides. The tides peaked
