Wilmington, NC – Residents across southeastern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina should be prepared for isolated thunderstorms late this evening, with the potential for damaging winds and large hail. According to the National Weather Service, an approaching cold front will bring increasing rain chances, particularly tonight.
The storms are expected to develop near the I-95 corridor this evening and move eastward toward the coast overnight. While the risk remains low, those in the affected areas should remain vigilant for possible wind gusts and hail.
Wilmington, along with cities like Fayetteville and Myrtle Beach, may see temperatures well into the 80s during the day, with the storms expected to bring relief later. The National Weather Service urges residents to monitor the weather, especially if traveling or planning outdoor activities, and to have a plan in place for shelter in case of severe weather.
The risk of severe weather is expected to subside by early Thursday morning, but further updates or warnings may be issued depending on the storm’s development.
