Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Raleigh sits at 35.77°N, 78.64°W, 96 m above sea level, in the America/New_York time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Raleigh's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Krishna Amavasya is the tithi at sunrise (07:25 AM) in Raleigh and lasts until 03:24 PM. The tithi at sunrise names the day.

Wait until Amavasya ends at 03:24 PM: routine work is fine; keep big starts for a better day. Best window: Shubh 04:03 PM to 05:17 PM. Avoid Rahu Kaal, 01:35 PM to 02:49 PM.
People with Vrishabha (Taurus) Moon sign, 04:37 PM, Jan 05 to 05:29 AM, Jan 08 and people with Mithuna (Gemini) Moon sign, 05:29 AM, Jan 08 to 06:05 PM, Jan 10: the Moon is in their 8th sign.
A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
