Southeast NC rain chances ramp up Sunday evening but they should be winding down early Monday morning as a cold front pushes off the coast. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Southeast NC will see a few rounds of showers and a few thunderstorms late Easter Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. Most models suggest substantial rainfall but not nearly enough to dent severe drought conditions over the region. #WECTwx #ILMwx.

Southeast NC stays mainly dry for the rest of the week. Our next good rain chance is late Easter Sunday/early Monday ahead of a cold front. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Patchy areas of frost and isolated freezing temperatures are possible Sunday morning in southeast NC. Take action this afternoon or evening to protect any delicate plants. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Most of the Carolinas are under an elevated or critical fire danger this afternoon. A dangerous combination of drought, very low humidity, and gusty northerly winds means you should avoid any and all burning. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Most of the Carolinas will be under an elevated or critical fire danger on Saturday. The combination of drought, very low humidity, and gusty northerly winds make it a dangerous day to do any kind of burning. #WECTwx #ILMwx

A bad combination for southeast NC on Saturday afternoon. A bone dry airmass combines with gusty north-northeast winds to produce an elevated fire danger as drought condition persist. No burning please. #WECTwx #ILMwx

There are some low end rain chances ahead for next week including a chance of an isolated shower or storm late Monday or Monday evening. A widespread soaking rain is not in our future as drought conditions linger over southeast NC. #WECTwx #ILMwx

A summery Sunday and Monday is on tap for southeast NC. Highs dip back into the 50s on Tuesday behind a strong cold front. #WECTwx #ILMwx

On this first weekend of spring, southeast NC will see a taste of summer weather. A brief but intense cooldown is expected on Tuesday. #WECTwx #ILMwx

There are some small showers and storm opportunities through the middle of next week in southeast NC. We will not see a widespread soaking rain. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Wilmington's low was 34 this morning but by Sunday a massive warming trend will carry highs across most of the area into the 80s. #WECTwx #ILMwx

A frosty night ahead but look for a steady warming trend that will carry highs into the 80s by Friday. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Eric Kozen captured glazed blueberries this morning near Burgaw. Temperatures began at or below freezing this morning. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Monday marks the highest risk day for severe weather in southeast NC with a level 3/5 enhanced risk. ALL modes of severe weather are on the table throughout the day. You need a way to receive any WARNINGS and move to a safe space quickly if needed. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are all now marked as First Alert Weather Days. Sunday afternoon and evening marks a low end risk of some severe storms. On Monday all modes of severe weather are possible on the highest risk day. Tuesday features a return to winter weather. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Saturday will be a gem! Perfect weather for the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Downtown Wilmington. Sunday will be nice too but there will be a shower risk. Have a way to receive warnings on Monday as severe weather is a real possibility. The threat could start in the morning and continue into the early evening. #WECTwx #ILMwx

A powerful Thursday cold front will drop lows into the 30s by Friday morning. Luckily 60s return for Friday afternoon and perfect lower 70s are on tap for Saturday in southeast NC. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Wilmington saw its hottest day of 2026 so far. A high of 86 ties a record set in 2016. The beaches of Brunswick County were much cooler with clouds and winds coming over still chilly water temperatures. #WECTwx #ILMwx

Rain chances will be few and far between through the weekend. Rain is at least possible early next week with better chances in about a week. #WECTwx #ILMwx
