North Carolina Forecast: Season's coolest temperatures expected from Tuesday to Friday
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chris Michaels reports that Comet A3 can be seen in the Western sky after sunset until October 24th. Observers may need night mode on their smartphones but some can see it with the naked eye from darker areas. Tonight, expect increased clouds and a chance of nighttime rain due to a cold front, with temperatures dropping to the 50s. Rain showers will be present during the morning commute, but skies will clear by midday. Wednesday’s high is forecasted at 59°F, the coolest since March. Expect even cooler temperatures on Thursday and Friday mornings, with the State Fair starting Thursday at 62°F.
The coolest air of the season (so far) is set to arrive from Tuesday through at least Friday morning. For Tuesday we can expect sunny skies in the morning, with increasing clouds in the afternoon, leading to mostly cloudy to overcast conditions. There’s a slight chance of spotty rain in our northwestern counties later in the day. High temperatures will be in the lower to mid-60s.
As Tuesday night approaches conditions will turn cloudy and cooler, with light rain likely later in the evening and continuing through daybreak on Wednesday.

Helene: About $9B of resolution’s $110B relief headed to North Carolina | North Carolina
SUMMARY: Relief efforts for Hurricane Helene in North Carolina received a boost with the passage of the American Relief Act 2025, which allocates $110 billion for various disasters, including Hurricane Helene. While bipartisan support was shown, Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Bishop opposed the resolution. President Biden signed the bill, directing about $9 billion specifically to North Carolina for disaster recovery, including support for infrastructure and agriculture. The aid aims to address devastation from Helene, which caused significant loss of life and property damage. Key officials emphasized the importance of this funding for the recovery of communities in western North Carolina.

Social Security benefits boosted for millions in bill headed to Biden’s desk • NC Newsline
SUMMARY: The U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan bill to increase Social Security benefits by eliminating the windfall elimination provision (WEP) and government pension offset (GPO), affecting millions of Americans, particularly public servants. The legislation, costing over $195 billion over ten years, awaits President Biden’s approval. While many senators support these changes, some express concerns about the potential impact on the Social Security trust fund. Current estimates suggest this could advance insolvency by six months, prompting calls for a broader discussion on Social Security’s sustainability. The bill reflects longstanding efforts to rectify perceived inequities in the current system.
