OBX Things To-Do: August 25, 2024

Good morning, OBX fans! 🌅 It’s Sunday, August 25, 2024, and summer is slowly winding down—just 28 days left until fall officially arrives.

But don’t let that get you down; there’s still plenty of time to enjoy the warm weather and all the fun that comes with it.

Today’s forecast from the National Weather Service predicts mostly sunny skies in Manteo, with a high of 84°F and a light breeze making it a perfect day for any outdoor plans.

For National Banana Split Day 🍨 đźŤŚ we wanted to ask, are you a yay or nay on banana splits?

As you plan your Sunday adventures, consider treating yourself to a banana split or even just a scoop of your favorite flavor.
