Wilmington, NC – A warm and dry Saturday is expected across North Carolina, with widespread high temperatures in the 80s, according to the National Weather Service. However, a refreshing sea breeze will keep coastal areas, including Wilmington’s beaches, nearly 10 degrees cooler than inland regions.
High pressure continues to dominate the region, contributing to dry conditions and a summer-like atmosphere across the state. While inland areas may see highs in the mid-80s to low 90s, the coastal areas will enjoy more moderate temperatures, particularly along the beach where a cooler breeze will provide some relief.
This weather pattern is expected to remain through the afternoon, making for a perfect day to be outdoors, though residents should be mindful of the higher temperatures inland. By evening, cooler temperatures in the 60s will settle in across the region.
As the high pressure system persists, warmer weather is expected to continue for the coming days. No significant rain is expected through the weekend, so make sure to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen if you’re heading outside.
