Every state has its must-try foods. Think Philly cheesesteak, New York pizza, Tex-Mex, or Louisiana gumbo. For North Carolina, most would assume the must-try local delicacy is either Eastern or Western NC BBQ. But according to recent research by Insure and Go, that's not the case.

A hurricane watch has been issued for part of Florida as a strengthening tropical system, soon to become Tropical Storm Debby, approaches the state over the weekend. Tropical Depression Four is forecast to strengthen while moving northward along the Florida Peninsula's Gulf coast this weekend, spreading rain, gusty winds and severe thunderstorms slowly northward. AccuWeather meteorologists warn that not only may the feature become a hurricane, but it may also later stall along the southeastern United States coast next week.

I love the heat and consistent sunshine that characterize summers in North Carolina. This time of year, I can spend more time outside doing things I love: hiking, biking, walking my dog and spending time on the beach. But that time in nature is quickly spoiled when I find myself covered in red, itchy bumps after just a few minutes outdoors. Mosquito season starts in March and can last until as late as November in some states. That means it's still peak mosquito season right now.

While Florida is home to amazing experiences like the Disney and Universal theme parks, it is also home to some severe weather. Experts predicted a “potentially explosive” hurricane season in 2024 and it appears that Florida will continue to experience some rough storms. Hurricane season in Florida tends to run from June through November and it can be a tough time to visit the state. Unfortunately, as we find ourselves in the thick of hurricane season, it looks like we might be barreling toward another potential storm.

The weekend which is the last weekend before the Labor Day holiday weekend (which is next weekend) is a reminder that summer is winding down so we should take advantage of the nice weather while we have it. This past week has been one of low humidity and cool temperatures. We will be slowly losing both of those this weekend but it will still be rather nice. Today is a day of lots of sunshine and high temperatures will reach into the lower 80s in most locations. Humidity levels are reasonable and should remain so today with dew points in the mid to upper 50s. No rain is forecast anywhere and radars are in silent mode.
