Last update: 6 hours agoExtreme Heat Watch: A dangerous, potentially record-setting heat wave is building across the eastern U.S. into the July 4 weekend, with heat indices climbing into the 100–110° range and especially high risk for people with respiratory issues and older adults. Storm Setup for NC: North Carolina is also dealing with an early-week mix of lingering showers and isolated strong to severe thunderstorms, with heavy rain and damaging winds possible before the hotter stretch locks in.

Wildlife Conservation Win: Biologists report a rare Indiana bat maternity roost rediscovered in the Nantahala National Forest, a boost for an endangered species pressured by habitat loss and white-nose syndrome. Community Water Support: Beaufort County’s Walk for Water is back with registration open, raising funds for clean water solutions that also support disaster-impacted areas like western North Carolina after Helene. Education on the Move: Sturgeon City’s new “STEAM on the Go” bus brings hands-on environmental and science learning directly to schools in Onslow County.
