Just got back from seeing Fantastic Four and this retro-tech would have fit perfectly into that movie

FAA air traffic controllers at the ILM tower are the certified observers here. They often edit visibility or ceiling if they feel ASOS is not representative.

Wilmington's temperature has dipped below 70 degrees F for the first time in 58 days. This is tied for the second longest streak of 70+ low temps since records began here in 1874. All four of the longest streaks of 70+ degree temperatures have occurred since 2012. #ncwx #climate

I would have loved to have seen Richard Moll operating the transporter.
"Lt. Bull, energize"
"Ooooooooookay"

Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, and Lumberton just recorded their warmest average July low temps on record.

McGowan: He seems to be getting rid of statisticians and climate people and weather experts and scientists and anyone who doesn't agree with what he wants to tell or what he wants to say.

80 degree dewpoint at ILM during the beginning of my shift tonight

My intro to Star Trek was The Galileo Seven (TOS). I was captivated by the episode's portrayal of human behavior in stressful situations and the challenges of logic and leadership Spock faced.

I really wish your media team didn't litter links to X across all of your articles. There are alternatives!

I played this on the Atari 2600. It came with a small cardboard overlay for the physical switches on the console to add to the realism.

The writer is attempting to sane-wash the actions of the most irresponsible and ill-suited individual to ever hold the office in the history of the nation. Respect is earned, not inherited from the previous President. I echo the sentiments of Scotland in heaping disrespect on Trump.

Some 60kft storms across eastern NC this afternoon too!

Hoping to see it later this week to find out

It's been a good summer for early morning rocket launches. This was SpaceX Starlink 10-26 on a northeasterly trajectory, viewed from Wrightsville Beach, NC. I got great views of the first stage entry burn off the Carolina coast and second stage flight.

The NWS is soliciting comments through January 26, 2026, on the potential utility of Bluesky in the NWS mission. Bluesky is a social media platform that can provide a way for the NWS to share posts providing additional information that is complementary to official NWS products and outreach information. For a limited time, NWS will be engaging in a prototype activity to examine the potential utility of this social media platform to support operations. This prototype effort will utilize a national NWS Bluesky account, with posts being publicly visible via the following NWS Bluesky account page: https://bsky.app/profile/nws.noaa.gov . Additional information on the prototype use of Bluesky can be found at the following link: https://nsdesk.servicenowservices.com/api/g_noa/nwspc/res2/d664da9797aa62 148881bb7de053af4f The prototype period will last approximately through January 26, 2026. Based on the findings, NWS will determine whether to continue to pursue use of Bluesky at field offices. If NWS decides to pursue use of Bluesky and offer this service on a more consistent basis, another Public Information Notice announcing an experimental implementation date will be sent. Bluesky content and response to real-time comments will be provided on a time-available basis. Users should not rely on this service as the primary means of receiving NWS information about hazardous weather conditions. Users should tune to NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) or local/national media sources for the latest critical information. NWS alerts and warnings are also available on the official NWS website:

The NWS is doing a test run of using Bluesky.

Perhaps the first time I've seen the phrase "on the brink of" used in positive context. I love it!

After years of saying I'll do it one day, I finally became a donor this week to my local NPR station WHQR.

And just like that I forgot all about the Orion Syndicate client lists!

Watching along with you from a distance

Excellent read! I got my copy signed by Peter David at a con years ago

Some fascinating stats here:
- 90k NC buildings have experienced flooding over the past 30 years,
- 20k buildings have flooded MORE than once,
- 40 percent of flooded buildings were NOT in an established flood zone

Waterslide Dan's Moist World 😂

Tiny tropical showers pushing onshore just south of Wilmington this morning #ncwx

Thank goodness mine's too old to run this

Jean-Luc Picard saying "I'm a... I'm a role model." A colorful banner behind him says "Captain Picard Day" in children's hand writing.

The man who played my childhood hero on TV is 85 today.

Convective shower just northeast of #Wilmington near sunset. Radar says it's about 30,000 feet tall. #ncwx

Even several years ago it was common for NWS radar technicians to find bullet holes in radomes 😔
