The NC Legislature is still wrangling over the 2023-24 budget that was due July 1st.  Today’s GOP reminds some of the Dem lead legislature several years ago…..
High School football results from at least one high school football game….Havelock 66 – West Bladen 20.
NFL Thursday night action…San Francisco 49ers 30 – NY Giants 20.
A full slate of activity set for today (Friday) and Saturday, if the weather cooperates….A big IF.
More high school football scheduled for tonight….including East Columbus at East Bladen…
And, a full slate of college football Saturday, weather permitting…
Weather forecast for today…Showers likely, mainly after 3 p.m.  Mostly cloudy, with a high near 75. Breezy, with a north wind 14 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
Tonight…Showers likely before 2 a.m., then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., then a chance of more showers after 3 a.m.  Cloudy, with a low around 61.  Windy, with a north wind 23 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 43 mph.  Chance of rain is 40%.
Saturday…A chance of showers.  Mostly cloudy, with a high near 72.  Breezy, with a west wind 17 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph and a 40% chance of rain.
Saturday Night, Mostly cloudy, with a high near 58 and windy, gusts as high as 18 mph.
Bottom line, call ahead if you plan to attend any outdoor activities over the next day or so.
The problem is created by a storm off the coast of the US.
College football Saturday and NFL action Sunday….weather could be better, later.  The stormy weather is primarily along the coastline in the Carolinas and maybe further north….Plan accordingly.
A couple of very important events planned for Saturday….Elizabethtown’s 250th Anniversary celebration, scheduled for all day long at the Farmers Market has been ppd….No new info related to the benefit in Bladenboro for a couple of residents dealing with serious health issues….a BBQ plate sale Saturday at Bladenboro School.  If no announcement, just go.
