@wnct9 Used for Easter egg dyeing - dropping eggs in (or pulling them out) of the vinegar dye solution cups. 🐣🐰🪺

Another age test of sorts. Do you know what this is (or was)? Tis' a seasonal thing I think. @wnct9 #wnctstormteam9

We’ve done our best to summarize current weather conditions and forecasts as our area faces PTC Sixteen / Tropical Storm #Ophelia - with contributions from @NHC_Atlantic, @medwick & @WECTWeather below. topsailguide.com/tropical-storm…

@medwick Hope you’re feeling better soon, Gannon!

Very warm and sticky late summer day on the way... If you're headed to a 9/11 remembrance ceremony, expect temperatures to quickly build through the 70s.

@medwick @TVsGabeRoss @EllaTanseyWECT We’re up, too. Things have quieted down here in the Topsail area, but expect that to change over the next few hours based on radar. Winds haven’t seemed bad at all (yet? 😬

Who's up? Let's wave to Idalia! The tornado window is about closed. (@TVsGabeRoss and @EllaTanseyWECT did a phenomenal job with a flurry of warnings in my opinion.) The last leg of the storm will be lingering flooding and very gusty "back side" north winds through the morning.

Grateful for the work @TVsGabeRoss and the @WECTWeather team is doing as we watch #Idalia inch closer. Stay informed, heed warnings, and remain prepared. topsailguide.com/topsail-area-h…

@medwick So, what’re you doing after Labor Day? 🏃‍♂️💨😂

"Find a professional meteorologist. If you don't like me that's fine. There's a lot of us out here..." Great, humble message about finding solid weather sources by one of the best!
