Traffic continues to build but at least the weather's nice. Expect crystal clear skies, light breezes, and just a touch of frost in spots with temps in the 30s as you get started.
6:15 AM UPDATE: Steady flow of cars coming onto the Isabel Holmes Bridge. A little slow moving at times on 421 northbound before you get to the turn, only backup is due to the stop light changing to allow drivers from 421 southbound turn left onto the bridge.

24 Governments funneled money to Trump while he was working in the White House...
but but but..
... Hunter Biden made money overseas while NOT working for the US government.
"We have records of 24 governments funneling millions into Trump properties and into Donald Trump's pockets while he was president, all in violation of the U.S. Constitution," Congressman Garcia argued, referencing the Constitution's so-called emoluments clause that bars presidents from accepting payments or titles from foreign governments. "And this is just the tip of the iceberg."

Chewy's "all ears" for a still blustery but much drier forecast for Wednesday. Hopefully you and your fur babies did okay in Tuesday's storms!

For Wilmington: 43 makes this morning the chilliest so far in fall (44, October 9). Isolated pockets of frosty middle 30s are mixing on the mainland. With a big warming trend on the way, the vast majority of the Lower Cape Fear Region will avoid frost until November.

Moderate to heavy and generally manageable rain impacts through early Saturday... Totals will average lower than with Idalia a few weeks ago.

11a TUE: Tropical Storm Watches are up for the coastal SE NC. #Idalia remains on track for a brush with the carolina coast late Wed thru Thu. Timing has slowed, but impacts are the same. Have a way to get alerts with your @WECTWeather App or NOAA wx radio.

No big changes overnight... Idalia, now a hurricane, remains likely to bring severe hurricane impacts to the Big Bend of Florida late Tuesday into Wednesday and moderate tropical storm impacts to the Cape Fear Region late Wednesday into Thursday.

Peek at your daytime storm chance this sizzling hot Monday and you see a very innocuous looking 10%. After sunset, though, please note a spike in storm odds. Thanks for keeping an eye to the western sky / your WECT Weather App as a couple of these cells / segments may by strong.

Though odds favor plenty of storm-free (and hot!) hours this weekend, energy for what storm cells do form will not be lacking. The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has broad-brushed the Cape Fear Region in a level two risk zone to account for the situation.

Back on Carolina in the Morning this Friday in time to track the latest round of storms! Keep an eye out and see you on the tube!
Bill Murray retweeted
After lower storm odds Tuesday (1 in 10), they're indeed back higher this Wednesday (1 in 2). The Cape Fear Region is on the northern / marginal end of a very impressive severe risk envelope (level three / four from Hilton Head Island and many points west!).
Bill Murray retweeted
Muggy, summery gusty breezes will help whip up a chance for strong to severe storms Monday. With hit or miss storm coverage, a First Alert Action Day is not in place. All the same, with one or two strong outcomes possible, a good day to keep your WECT Weather App handy...
Bill Murray retweeted
Nonzero shower / storm chances return to your First Alert three-day forecast. The percentages suggest rain is not a "slam dunk", but it's worth a finger-cross if your garden's getting a little thirsty. A toasty Weather Alert Wednesday weather radio programming event in Southport!
