Lord, fill our hearts with Your boundless love, that we may shine with hope in darkness. Let faith guide us, Your grace sustain us, and Your peace unite us in love everlasting. (1 John 4:16, Rom 15:13) Amen.

Man, the NC beaches are getting wrecked this year. Those northeast winds have been brutal, eroding the sand like crazy.

Man, I missed that guy. He was one hell of a player! 🔥

💯 I can’t shake the feeling that UNC is flying under the radar. If everything clicks, they’re gonna be a real matchup problem for most teams.

Exactly. At minimum it shows how arrogant he is and what it actually takes to make it at the college level.

Crazy it’s come to this. Can’t believe an article like that even needs to exist. Everything in it’s spot on though. Just a brutal day to be a UNC football fan.

❤️❤️❤️

Lord, when tragedy strikes, remind us You are near, sharing our pain and carrying our burdens. In You we find healing and hope. Restore our hearts with Your comfort and peace. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” (Psalm 34:18)

Massive thanks to the meteorologists here who break down weather events in such detail. With my vision almost completely gone now, I genuinely rely on their deep dives to help me nerd out and actually grasp what's going on with these systems. #WX

Honestly just breathing a sigh of relief seeing those storms track out to sea. The Southeast totally sidestepped what could've been a disastrous hit. The Carolinas desperately need some rain to ease this drought, but I'm so glad it didn't come this way.

Ultimately, ensemble spread in 94L's track is still quite large beyond 5 days out.

Many uncertainties still exist, such as any interaction with Hispaniola & whether its track is influenced by its proximity to invest 93L to its east.

In the meantime, monitor but don't panic.

I'm at the gym trying to get through this workout, and my body is not having it today. Every rep feels like I'm moving through thick mud or something. But I'm pushing through anyway because I know I'll feel way better after. Just gotta stop being such a baby about it. 😆

If you’re in the Triad today, keep an eye on the sky. There’s a marginal risk of severe storms, but any that pop up could pack strong winds and hail. Stay alert. 🌩️ #NCWX

Virginia and NC State are off to a crazy start. Both teams have had huge scoring plays already. I can’t tell if it’s great offense or shaky defense. It’s fun when you don’t root for either. 😂 #ACC #CFB

I just looked at the lineup for Saturday and… man, it’s not hitting like last weekend did. Feels like most of these are gonna be straight-up blowouts. Only game that really has my attention is #Oregon vs. #OklahomaState. That should be a fun game! 🦆

Some people at the McDonald's drive-thru have truly lost their mind. Witnessed a lady cussing out the car in front of her for not moving up—when there was physically no room to go. If you can't handle a five-minute wait, maybe a drive-thru isn't for you. The lack of common sense is crazy. 🤦

I really appreciate that. Means a lot. 🙂

I've climbed up on my roof so many times and never had a single problem. Today this stupid ladder just decides to break on me out of nowhere. It was perfectly fine before this happened. Now I'm looking at this mangled mess. Thank God I didn't get seriously injured

That Chevy Chase Christmas movie where he falls off the roof? Yeah well I just lived it and it's not funny at all. I fell 25 feet off my roof and landed half in our bush half on the ground. I'm bruised to hell and cut up but man I'm lucky I'm not dead right now 😅

The college football's slate this weekend is awesome! These huge matchups between top-ranked teams right from game one are going to be epic. So ready to see who actually backs up all the preseason talk and who crashes and burns. The playoff hunt starts early this year! 🏈 #cfp

I can't get over how nice it is outside. It's the perfect kind of warm without any of that sticky humidity. After weeks of that intense heat, this feels like a total gift. I really hope this is our new normal for a while. 🌤️ #Autumnweather

Just got my hands on my new Tempest Weather station, and I'm super pumped to install this second unit on the roof! I've been wanting to do this for a while. Can't wait to get it running and see all the real-time data coming in. 👏

🔥🔥🔥

RDU Airport just made sweaty history: On July 18, the temp *never* dropped below 80°F—tying the all-time record high minimum 🌡️. Only four other years (2010, 1942, 1936, 1887) have been this miserably warm at night. My busy week suddenly feels appropriately sticky. #ncwx

I’m watching the calendar and we’re down to just 11 days before preseason football starts up again with Lions versus Chargers. I don’t care if the game’s terrible because I’m just fired up football is back. 👏 #NFLPreseason

I’m absolutely dreading this heat and mugginess today. We’re looking at mid-90s with dew points in the 70s so it’s going to feel brutal and sticky out there. I’m thinking this might be the perfect excuse to hit up our pool and have some fun cooling off. #NCWX #Yuck

I’m so glad SharkFest is back for the summer. I’ve been itching for football to start, and this is the one thing actually keeping me sane while I wait. This season’s been way better than I expected — they really stepped it up. 🦈

I feel so bad for the families who lost their kids in those terrible Texas floods. The National Weather Service warned everyone—they did what they could. This was all on nature. Losing 120 people, mostly kids, is tragic, but blaming others won’t help. We need to focus on healing. 💔 #Texas

Last night broke my heart. My four-year-old was talking about our dog we lost a year and a half ago. He’s finally realizing he’s really gone. Explaining heaven to an autistic child is so hard. I told him our pup is with Jesus and my dad, playing just like before. 😔

This heat is absolutely insane right now! 🥵 It’s already been freaking hot, and now we’re staring down 100° for the next few days here in the Triad. That’s totally unheard of. Our all-time record is only 104, so this is going to be crazy! #NCWX
