Raleigh–Durham is part of Carolinas
Every Carolinas region shares one system — the same maps, the same live radar, the same climate record. The Triangle sits far enough inland that the hurricanes arrive as rain rather than wind, and that is its problem: Fran and Floyd and Florence all did their damage here with water and falling trees on saturated ground. Winter is the other one — the ice line sets up along I-85 more often than not, and it decides between a nuisance and a week without power.
