SUMMARY: In the ongoing legal battle over the state Supreme Court Seat 6, Wake County Superior Court ruled against Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin, who trails incumbent Democrat Allison Riggs by 734 votes from 5.5 million cast. Griffin has not conceded, suggesting an appeal is likely. The court denied his request to discard 65,000 ballots, with previous protests rejected at both county and state levels.

SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Chantal is bringing heavy rain and flash flooding risks to North Carolina. The storm is moving onshore with strong bands producing 3 to 5 inches of rain, especially west of the Triangle area, causing saturated ground and flooding concerns. Winds near 40 mph with gusts up to 70 mph are easing but remain risky for downed trees. Along the coast, Wrightsville Beach faces tropical storm warnings, dangerous rip currents, rough surf, and red beach flags urging no swimming, despite some beachgoers remaining. Drivers are warned of wet, difficult road conditions. Emergency officials emphasize preparedness as the storm progresses.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms from Chantal’s outer bands continue to impact parts of inland North Carolina.

SUMMARY: Energy crews are preparing for Tropical Storm Chantal as it approaches the Carolinas. Duke Energy expects the worst impacts near the coast but advises central North Carolina to stay alert for heavy rain and wind that could cause scattered power outages and downed lines. Crews are ready to respond quickly and urge people to stay off roads and give space to utility workers for safety. Residents should prepare emergency kits, stay away from windows, and disconnect non-essential electrical devices to avoid overloads. Reporting outages promptly will help crews restore power efficiently. Safety remains the top priority.
