AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Memorial Day Weather Watch: North Carolina is heading into the holiday with fog, spotty rain, and storm chances that linger through Sunday, then warm into the 70s—so umbrellas still matter. Safety First on the Road: South Carolina is ramping up patrols for “100 Deadly Days of Summer,” focusing on speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, and seat belts as the busiest travel stretch begins. Gas Prices Stay Stubborn: AAA says Memorial Day travel is set for record levels even as gas hits four-year highs; in the Palmetto State, prices vary by county, with regular lows reported around the high-$3 range and premium often near the mid-$4s. Local Travel Momentum: Lake Lure in North Carolina reopened its iconic lake on May 23, kicking off summer tourism with reservations reportedly up. On-the-Ground News: An Aiken teen died in a crash involving a utility vehicle and a sedan, and SC officials are also urging travelers to watch for typical early-summer bugs rather than panic over distant outbreaks.
