Sunrise today lands at 06:34 and sunset at 07:53 local time, giving 13h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (36.45, -77.65) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Roanoke Rapids.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Roanoke Rapids day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
The zone identifier America/New_York is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/New_York keeps pointing at New York time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
