The Weather Headlines across the great state of North Carolina for everyone, don't be caught unaware!

Today is a more active, cooler day with scattered showers, some storms, and widespread clouds. We will begin to see a change in the weather starting Tuesday.

-Tuesday, the cold front breaks down, we will start to see a ridge of high pressure build back, and some sunshine returns to most of the state. Highs will be in the 80s to near 90° for most areas. Storm/rain chances are much lower, but a couple of isolated to scattered showers and storms can't be ruled out, especially south, and some areas to the east seem more favored.

Wednesday-Friday: Partly to mostly sunny skies are expected, the ridge of high pressure really takes over, and the heat is back in full force. Highs in the 90s to near 100° each day for most areas. The high will be well in control of our weather, with sinking air and very limited storm chances on Wednesday and Thursday. Most are dry and hot.

Friday is still hot, with a slightly better chance of some pop-up storms.

The North Carolina Weekend: It looks hot and sunny with highs in the 90s to near 100°. A few hit or miss scattered PM storms look to be around on Saturday and Sunday afternoon/evening across the state, no washouts by any means, typical summertime stuff. We will get more details as we move towards the weekend.

As always, I'll keep you updated all week long!

A "rogue" wave wreaked havoc along the Ventura coastline on Thursday, crashing over a seawall and plunging the area into disarray. The unexpected surge not only inundated the vicinity but also swept bystanders and vehicles down the street, resulting in eight individuals being swiftly transported to the hospital, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the Ventura County Fire Department via social media.

Before the incident, the National Weather Service in the Bay Area had issued a High Surf Warning, warning the public of the potential of "very dangerous" waves, some as high as 40 feet.

In response to the heightened surf conditions, the Santa Cruz Fire Department issued an urgent advisory, prompting closures of Santa Cruz Wharf, Main Beach, and Cowell Beach. Low-lying areas along West Cliff witnessed flooding, with debris crashing ashore amid substantial waves reaching heights of 25 to 30 feet, according to the National Weather Service. Authorities are cautioning residents of rip currents, storm surges, and "sneaker" waves in the Santa Cruz area, urging everyone to remain indoors and away from the coastline for safety.

A High Surf Advisory remains in effect until 6PM pacific-time this evening, warning of "large breaking waves of 15 to 19 feet". A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 2PM pacific-time this afternoon, warning of "minor coastal flooding".

The NWS warns of impacts of flooding of lots, parks, roads, dangerous swimming conditions and localized beach erosion.
