Wilmington, NC – Rising tides caused by the “Beaver” full moon are expected to bring minor coastal flooding through Sunday in Wilmington and surrounding areas. Residents in low-lying areas should prepare for potential water encroachment, though impacts are expected to remain minimal.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, the full moon has heightened tidal activity, with peak flooding risks occurring at high tide. While beachgoers can anticipate normal conditions, neighborhoods near Wrightsville Beach and other low-lying coastal zones may experience brief flooding. Light winds and calm seas are expected to mitigate further impacts.
Saturday’s weather is forecasted to be sunny, with a high near 66°F and light north winds at 5-9 mph. Clear skies tonight will drop temperatures to around 42°F, offering crisp but comfortable evening conditions. Sunday will bring similarly pleasant weather, with highs near 68°F and minimal wind.
Looking ahead, the early week forecast shows continued warm and sunny weather, with temperatures climbing to the mid-70s by Tuesday. However, showers are predicted to move into the region Tuesday night and Wednesday, marking a shift to cooler and wetter conditions.
