How is the weather the first week of November? We have been in September before but never as late as November.

Impossible to know. And that's not a smartarse answer, but... that time of year can be really pleasant or 6 days of 30+ mph NE winds and chilly.

Yep it’s a spin of the wheel.
We’ve done late November a few times.
One of those weeks it went from low 80’s and gorgeous the first half of the week to low 40’s and a gale force wind the second half.
But isn’t that part of what we love about the Banks?

I am usually still in shorts the 1st week of November. After that it can be nice or chilly.

Just a reminder, hurricane season ends November 30 (not that one will happen).

nreid: All of the responses are correct on here. You just never know about November. We were down here last October and the first week of November and the weather was great. I was swimming in the Hatteras Inlet on Halloween. November is my favorite time down here and it's my birthday week/month which gives it a plus for me as the weather is much colder in my hometown then and I always wanted to have a warm birthday temp.
