Today marks one year since the first raindrops fell ahead of Hurricane Helene, which became our state's costliest and deadliest storm on record. #ncwx
On the Climate Blog, we revisit Helene amid the context of a stormy decade across North Carolina.

This isn't a trivial analysis, so it's a work in progress, but for "least lucky" locations along the U.S. East Coast for tropical cyclones (TCs) over the past ~50 years, one might expect it to be Florida.
Turns out it's the coasts of North Carolina and South Carolina.

The heat is on this week, and that means more stress during outdoor activities. Together with @ncstate-ncics.bsky.social, we're looking at what historical trends and recent extremes in Wet Bulb Globe Temperatures tell us about heat risk in North Carolina. #ncwx

Hurricane Helene wiped out hundreds of roadways in western North Carolina. Now engineers are working to fill the holes the storm left behind. But how do you rebuild a road that’s meant to last in a climate that’s changing quicker than we can keep up?
