Good morning from the Outer Banks! 🌤️ For today’s "OBX Things To-Do" on October 1, 2024, Manteo will see mostly cloudy skies with a high near 78°F. There’s a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1 PM, so keep an eye on the sky if you’re planning any outdoor activities. Winds will be coming from the northeast at around 10 mph. Tonight, expect cloudy conditions to continue with a low around 67°F, and winds increasing to 14-17 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph.

The ocean water temperature is around 77°F today, making it perfect for a quick dip if weather conditions allow. If you’re counting down, there are just 30 days left until Halloween! October is packed with fall events on the Outer Banks, from haunted trails to harvest festivals, so be sure to check out what’s happening locally.

Also, let’s not forget—it’s National Taco Day! 🌮 What better way to celebrate than by indulging in some of the best tacos on the Outer Banks? Whether you’re in the mood for classic carnitas or a creative twist with local seafood, the OBX taco scene has something to offer for every taco lover.

Stay safe and enjoy your time in the OBX today!
