North Carolina’s Crystal Coast wakes up to misty skies and a damp breeze before sunrise. Light rain and fog drift across Morehead City as temperatures hold near 53 degrees. Winds gust above 20 mph along the waterfront, adding a raw February edge to the morning commute.
Visibility dips at times on US-70 and coastal bridges. While no freeze is expected, wet pavement could create slick spots during heavier showers. The rain tapers later this morning, and partial sunshine develops this afternoon. Highs stay near 53 degrees, with gusty north winds gradually easing.
Tonight turns cooler and calmer. Patchy fog may redevelop toward daybreak as lows drop to 33 degrees inland. Tuesday brings a brighter trend. After early fog, sunshine returns and highs climb to 59 degrees. That warming trend continues into Wednesday, February 18.
Midweek temperatures surge into the upper 60s under mostly cloudy skies. Southwest winds increase, signaling the next weather maker. A slight chance of rain arrives Wednesday night, with better shower chances Thursday and Friday. Highs remain mild, reaching the upper 60s to near 70 degrees late week.
No snow, ice storm, or Polar Vortex threats loom for coastal North Carolina. Instead, February delivers a gradual thaw and early spring vibes. Looking ahead into President’s Day Week, the 6–10 day outlook favors above-average temperatures and periodic rain. While brief showers may interrupt outdoor plans, sustained winter weather appears unlikely across Morehead City as the pattern trends warmer.
