Morehead City, NC – After a stretch of dry weather, eastern North Carolina is set to enjoy a sunny, pleasant weekend before conditions turn wetter early next week, according to the US National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City, NC.
Highs will climb into the upper 60s through Sunday, with clear skies and light winds across the region. Lows each night will dip into the 40s to low 50s, creating ideal fall weather for outdoor activities.
Forecasters say attention then turns to early next week, when a coastal low-pressure system could develop near the Carolinas. While forecast confidence remains low, the system may bring 30–40% rain chances Monday and Tuesday — potentially delivering some much-needed rainfall to the region.
Residents and beach communities are encouraged to monitor updates through the weekend as forecast models refine the coastal system’s strength and track.
