Good morning ENC! Another hot day as temperatures reach the mid to upper 90s inland, "cooling" to near 90 along our beaches. There is a moderate risk of rip currents north of Cape Lookout. #ncwx

There is a 20% chance of TC formation in the next 7 days along the SE coast. While it is TOO SOON to determine what, if any, impacts occur there is an above average chance for rain across the eastern seaboard next week weather.gov/mhx/hurricanep… #ncwx

[7/15/26 7 AM] A warming trend begins today, as we approach 100F inland Friday. For today though, slightly less humid conditions may make the temps a *bit* more bearable. #ncwx

Not expecting any rain until Sunday. Heat builds rest of week with Friday looking to be the hottest day of the week. MaxTs in the upper 90s and dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s will make Apparent Temperatures ("Feels Like") reach 105-110deg, even hotter in some spots.

If a hurricane hit tomorrow, do you have enough daily meds to last? 💊 Storms can shut down local pharmacies. Ensure your emergency kit has a 7-day supply of prescriptions, a first-aid kit, and sanitizing wipes. It's #TropicalTuesday! Prep now: weather.gov/moreheadcity/h… #nws
