Pockets of fog returned this morning, primarily in areas north and west of FAY. Be aware if your travels take you in that direction.
Aside from that, the Sandhills will see another warm, dry day. FAY will flirt with a high of 80 degrees for the first time in nearly two weeks.
A quick thanks to the folks at WTVD for recognizing Sanford by its full, proper name the other night. Jim Brown, Patrick McGoohan and Rock Hudson would be proud!
For those wondering ...
We've finally reached the point on the calendar where FAY has never seen 90 degrees. Oct. 27, 1933, remains the latest date for a 90-degree reading.
FWIW, the warmest Halloween on record was also in 1933 at 88 degrees.
If you were planning to dress like Bigfoot, a Yeti, or some other fur-clad creature for Halloween weekend, there's still time to change your mind.
Temperatures on Friday will climb to about 80, then mid-70s Saturday. That's a bit warm for even the most dedicated moonster.

Here's a broad estimate on how fall color is right now across NC.
Highest peaks have peaked, high color in the mountains and starting in the Foothills.
Plenty showing up in the Piedmont now too.
If your early travel plans involve a trip toward the Triangle, be aware of patchy fog that lingers for a bit longer.
After that, FAY will warm up into the mid-70s with scattered clouds.

King Tide flooding this morning in Garden City. The first video shows flooding on Cypress Avenue, and the second shows flooding on Dogwood Drive. Thanks for the video Travis Huffstetler!

Aside from some thin cirrus clouds drifting overhead, plenty of sunshine is expected today! Expect highs in the low-to-mid 70s this afternoon, followed by a cool evening with temperatures settling into the 40s and 50s. Cloudiness will increase overnight. #NCwx
A "lather-rinse-repeat" sort of day for the Sandhills.
FAY started at 39 degrees, warming to about 75 this afternoon. Increasing clouds will hold the region to about 50 degrees overnight.

El Niño snowfall patterns 1950-2026.
I anticipate a lot of “winter cancel” opinions after Christmas, but the party will just be getting started!
History says interior Northeast first, then the coast follows late season.
The Sandhill stretch of delightful -- if dry -- weather continues. FAY will look for a high of about 75 today with sunshine and a light north wind. Lows tonight will hold in the mid- to upper 40s.

Final day of the NC State Fair looks perfect! Sunshine and a high near 70 degrees.
It caps off a beautiful run of weather over the 11-day span, with the average high this year within a degree of the historical average and the total rain within a few hundredths of the same.

Color update:
- Peak color is wrapping up above 5,000 feet
- High color is showing above 3,000 feet
- Starting to see some decent color in the Foothills and valleys, but still patchy
- Peak color still about 10 days away or more here in the Triad

ALT A fun National Weather Service Raleigh Halloween forecast graphic featuring a pumpkin and ghost.

A bit warmer this morning in FAY, with a low of 48 degrees. The Sandhills should climb above 70 today, even with a persistent northeast breeze. Look for lows of about 50.
Enjoy a great day!
