BULLETIN
Dry conditions are putting Kure Beach on high alert this Fourth of July weekend, so residents should be extra cautious with fireworks and outdoor activities. An Oak Island police officer was hospitalized after being struck by an impaired driver on the NC 133 bridge, and a security guard was also injured during a fight at the Country Club of Landfall fireworks show. With a high of 90°F expected and good air quality, it's a hot day ahead—just plan for overcast skies and stay safe if you're heading out to enjoy the holiday.
