Dear Mother Nature, we the people of Southeastern North Carolina would like to formally request that this week come to pass without the touchdown of any tornadoes. Is that too much to ask?

It takes a lot of hard work to figure out just how many tornadoes actually touched down after a major storm like this one, but the numbers are in, and they are record breaking.

As we were looking back at the Tornado Outbreak on Monday, I mentioned that many of these totals could change - and they already have.

Heading into Saturday, it was clear that this was not going to be your run-of-the-mill outbreak of storms.

Ahh yes, the weather forecast is no more important than when there's big outdoor events - and there are no events bigger in Wilmington than the Azalea Festival.

"March is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get." Yes, March can be a fickle month when it comes to the weather.

An unsettling way to start the morning, with the smell of smoke hanging heavy across the Port City.

It may be a Christmas song, but I've been singing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" in my head all morning long. You see, there are plenty of things that are coming tog

Now I know that calendar on your wall says Spring doesn't start for a few weeks yet, but the weather map tells me differently.

Well I guess it justifies our whining a little bit! The numbers are in for the winter season, and they're impressive. A record breaker here in the city of Wilmington.

In a twist that seems a little too far-fetched even for Hollywood, Mother Nature has cooked up quite the winter weather screenplay for this year's Oscars.

When it comes to this third Monday in February, some confusion often comes into play! This mix-up is in the name.

It's the week of weather we've been waiting for - so what are we supposed to do now? No more whining I guess. The warm and sunny Thursday was fantastic, and today will be even better.

Mother Nature may just be a hopeless romantic after all!

It's been one of the coldest winters in Wilmington history, but it looks like we're finally turning a corner as we head into mid-February.
