As you plan your activities in the Outer Banks today, September 18, 2024, here's a quick look at what to expect in terms of weather, tides, and a little foodie celebration!

Weather in Manteo: Expect partly sunny skies with temperatures peaking around 81°F and light winds from the west at about 5 mph. There's a slight chance of a rain shower later in the day, so pack accordingly if you’re heading out for any outdoor fun. Tonight, it will cool down to around 70°F, making it pleasant for an evening beach stroll or dining outdoors​. For beachgoers and anglers, the water temperature is currently about 74°F, perfect for a refreshing dip. Keep an eye on tide times—high tide is expected around 12:00 PM today, so plan your surfside lounging accordingly​

It’s National Cheeseburger Day! Why not celebrate by grabbing a burger from one of the best burger spots on the Outer Banks? Whether you prefer classic beef or a creative twist, there are plenty of options to savor.

Looking for other activities? If rain interrupts your plans, don't worry—there are top rainy day activities for kids to keep the little ones entertained. Also, if you're prepping for the Outer Banks Seafood Festival next month, it’s the perfect time to explore some local seafood spots. And if you're bringing your furry friend for the first time, check out these tips on bringing your dog to the OBX!

Enjoy your day in the Outer Banks!
