Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The North Carolina coast has the best chance at above-normal rainfall amounts this fall. When it comes to temperatures during a La Niña year, the majority of the country is known to see warmer-than-normal temperatures.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Gulf Stream has some direct effect on North Carolina temperatures, especially on the immediate coast. Though the Gulf Stream lies some 50 miles offshore, warm water eddies spin off from it and moderate the winter air temperatures along the Outer Banks.
