NEWS RELEASE: CARTERET COUNTY, N.C. (January 30, 2026) – Residents of Carteret County should make final preparations now as a significant winter storm is expected to impact the area beginning tomorrow. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning and other related alerts as the storm brings heavy snow, strong winds, dangerously low temperatures, and hazardous travel. The impacts may last into most of next week, and the combination of snow, cold, and wind could create life-threatening conditions.

All County Public Libraries and Parks & Recreation facilities will be closed Saturday, Jan. 31. County convenience sites will operate on a modified schedule from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Heavy snow is expected, creating slick roads, black ice, and reduced visibility. Scattered power outages are possible, and blizzard conditions could affect parts of the county. Coastal flooding and dangerous marine conditions are also possible, particularly in the Downeast community.

The County Emergency Operations Center will partially activate to coordinate with local, regional, state, and federal partners.

The The Salvation Army of Carteret County will open its temporary emergency storm shelter at 2800 Bridges Street, Morehead City, on Saturday, Jan. 31, remaining open through Monday, Feb. 2. Meals will be provided, and staff from County Government, the Department of Social Services, and the Sheriff’s Office will be on site to assist.

Residents are urged to limit travel, check on neighbors, and bring pets indoors. Protect plants and pipes, review emergency supplies including food, water, medications, and vehicle essentials, and prepare for potential extended power outages and safe heating needs.

Stay informed through local media, the National Weather Service, and Carteret County Emergency Services. Sign up for Carteret County CodeRED to receive real-time severe weather alerts specific to their location. Additional preparedness information is available at ReadyNC.gov. Residents should call 9-1-1 for emergencies only, and report power outages directly to utility providers so restoration efforts can begin when conditions are safe.
