North Carolina – A mix of weather conditions will impact the state as rain and gusty winds move in Friday before a warm and sunny weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, parts of eastern North Carolina, including Newport and Belville, can expect rain showers Friday morning, with winds reaching up to 29 mph. Temperatures will hover around the upper 50s to low 60s. A high surf advisory remains in effect for coastal areas until 1 a.m. Thursday, meaning hazardous conditions could persist along beaches before calmer weather takes over.
By Friday night, winds will begin to die down as skies clear. Saturday brings a welcome change with sunshine and temperatures climbing into the low 70s. Sunday will see a slight increase in cloud cover, with a 50-60% chance of showers before noon, but conditions should improve by the afternoon.
Looking ahead, next week begins with mild and sunny weather. Monday and Tuesday will feature highs in the mid-60s to low 70s, with clear skies expected throughout the region.
Residents planning outdoor activities should prepare for wet roads and gusty winds Friday but can look forward to a warm and sunny weekend. Travelers along U.S. Highway 17 should exercise caution Friday morning due to reduced visibility and slick conditions.
