The variety of fun things is so great and the weather changes so often, it is hard to be rained out here on the Southern Outer Banks. #CrystalCoast http://ow.ly/o6JrU

Along the Crystal Coast we expect it to be warm in August. However, fall-like blue skies are unusal. Read more on how we cope with the heat by clicking the picture or the link. #crystalcoast http://ow.ly/nOZrz

The Crystal Coast usually has great weather. However, we are now entering the muggies, that time from late July until sometime in September when fall rescues us. I can hardy wait for fall and the wonderful evenings on the beach.

A coastal community like ours has to have a balancing act with rain. We need unshine for our tourists and rain for our farmers. Week of July 4th worked out great for everyone. It started with rain, but the rest of the week has been spectacular. Click the picture or the link for more details http://ow.ly/mIACq
