SUMMARY: Earl Carter, known as the “AK Guru,” has been arrested by the FBI in Richmond County, NC, following a tip from another arrest. The 15-page criminal complaint details his alleged involvement in making and selling hundreds of machine guns, either by modifying legal firearms or assembling them from deconstructed parts.

SUMMARY: American-Israeli soldier Omare Neutra has been confirmed dead in Gaza after Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2022, while he served as a tank commander in the Israel Defense Forces. His body was believed to have been taken by Hamas, despite his parents holding out hope for his return. Meanwhile, Hamas recently released a video of another hostage, 20-year-old Adon Alexander, who has been captive for over 400 days. His father urged U.S. leaders to negotiate a hostage deal. The White House is actively pursuing efforts to secure the release of hostages and establish a ceasefire.

Netanyahu vows to recover body from Gaza.

North Carolina Forecast: Monday brings the coldest afternoon, chance for flurries overnight❄️

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chris Michaels forecasts a cold Monday with high temperatures between 40-46°F, the coldest seen since January. Expect some afternoon sunshine, followed by cloud coverage and possible flurries overnight in western and southern counties, although no significant accumulation is expected. The region will experience hard freezes with Tuesday morning temperatures between 21-26°F and Wednesday morning between 19-23°F. Residents should protect pets, plants, and exposed piping. While below-average temperatures are anticipated, the Arctic pattern may start relenting by mid-month. Highs will reach 51°F on Wednesday, with warmer temperatures in the upper 50s by Thursday.

It’s going to be a cold week with heavy coats needed most mornings. Lows are in the 20s most days with highs only in the low-to-mid 40s early in the week. Monday will be the coldest afternoon since Jan. 21, with a high of 43 degrees and sunny skies. Another round of Arctic air arrives early in the week, making Monday and Tuesday our coldest days this week. Highs will range between 40 and 45, and it will be breezy at times. Wind chills Tuesday morning may only be in the teens.

In addition to the chill, a weak disturbance thousands of feet above us may be just enough to produce some flurries in our western counties overnight Monday into very early Tuesday morning. It’s nothing to get overly excited about just yet. Since we’ll see several hard freezes this week, remember to keep the three p’s in mind. It’s a good idea to disconnect the garden hose too!

Since we’ll see several hard freezes this week, remember to keep the three p’s in mind. It’s a good idea to disconnect the garden hose too! While we’ll get a brief reprieve from the bitter cold later in the week, which will be good news for WRAL’s Tower Lightings Wednesday evening. Shortly thereafter, it looks like another round of Arctic air will make its way down to North Carolina next weekend into the following week. The jet stream can best be thought of as a northern half and a southern half. The northern provides the cold, and the southern provides the moisture/storms. In the next one-to-two weeks, the two halves seem to be out of sync.

SUMMARY: Today marks one of the busiest travel days of the year as people return home from Thanksgiving. Live coverage from Raleigh Durham International Airport reveals consistent traffic and some flight delays, particularly for flights to and from the Northeast. The TSA estimates around 3 million travelers will be flying today, but severe weather in areas like Upstate New York and Michigan may cause cancellations. Travelers reported long lines and missed flights due to congestion at TSA. Despite a record number of flights this week, only 1% have been delayed, according to the FAA. Traffic is expected to continue into tomorrow.
