SUMMARY: Meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner reports a chilly morning following a cold front. Temperatures will reach the mid-50s this afternoon, significantly cooler than yesterday. Tonight marks the first hard freeze of the season, with lows dipping into the 20s. Winds gusting up to 20 mph will make it feel even colder. Looking ahead, another cold blast is expected early next week, dropping temperatures to the low 20s by Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Highs will be in the mid-40s, feeling like the 30s due to wind chills. Despite the cold, the Tower lighting ceremony on Wednesday will be dry and pleasantly chilly.

Temperatures become much colder beginning Friday, with lows in the 20s and 30s possible for the weekend and into the first week of December. By next Monday and Tuesday, highs will be in the mid 40s! The combination of cold air and gusty winds will be a shock to the system each morning this weekend. Wind chills locally will be in the 20s, but they will be even lower in the mountains.

Highs will drop into the upper 40s on Saturday and the low 50s on Sunday, making for a very chilly weekend. There isn’t much rain in the forecast for post-holiday travel. Looking ahead to next week, after a frigid Monday and Tuesday, highs begin to warm. Thursday will be in the mid 50s, and Friday could reach 60 degrees.

The week as a whole looks dry and cold-to-mild with very chilly mornings in the 20s and 30s.

SUMMARY: Congress is debating a new federal fee on hybrid and electric vehicles, potentially charging drivers up to $500 annually. North Carolina’s electric vehicle registrations have surged from 10,000 in 2018 to over 110,000 today, with 70% in Wake County. The House budget bill proposes $100 yearly for hybrids and $250 for EVs, though some Republicans seek to double these amounts to offset declining gas tax revenue. Critics argue such fees could deter EV adoption and hinder emission reductions. North Carolina already charges state fees, and the same bill aims to phase out the $7,500 federal EV tax credit after next year.

Congress may add a yearly federal fee, $100 for hybrids and $250 for electric vehicles, with some senators pushing to double it. The charge would stack on state fees and could erase the fuel savings that attract many buyers.

SUMMARY: Water safety experts stress the importance of vigilance and swim education following recent drowning incidents in North Carolina, including a 39-year-old man in Raleigh and a 4-year-old in Durham. Drowning can occur silently and swiftly, often in a single breath. FD Swim School Director Katie Blaylock emphasizes constant adult supervision, teaching children survival skills, and always using life jackets in natural water bodies. Nearly 3,600 Americans drown annually, including 945 children. Blaylock compares swim lessons to seatbelts—essential for safety. The focus is on proactive preparedness to prevent tragedy, especially for families in apartment complexes and those near water.

According to the Children’s Safety Network, nearly 3,600 people die from drowning in the United States every year — 945 of them are children.

SUMMARY: Residents in a Wilson, North Carolina neighborhood are expressing frustration after yet another round of flooding damaged homes and vehicles following heavy overnight rains. Water rose to knee level on Starship Lane, flooding driveways, cars, and apartments. One resident reported losing music equipment, furniture, and clothes for the third time due to recurring floods. The rising water even brought worms and snakes from a nearby pond into homes. Debris and trash were scattered as floodwaters receded, leaving many questioning why no long-term solution has been implemented. Residents are exhausted, facing repeated loss and cleanup efforts after each heavy rainfall.

“We have to throw everything out. This is my third time doing this.”
