Wilmington, NC – The spring weather in Wilmington promises a bright and sunny stretch through Sunday, with temperatures soaring into the 80s. However, a shift toward rain on Monday could dampen the start of the workweek.
The weather in Wilmington will remain mostly sunny today and tomorrow, with temperatures reaching a high near 80°F today. Winds from the south will pick up, with gusts reaching 20 mph. By Friday, the area will see highs in the low 80s, with minimal chances of rain and light southwest winds.
According to the National Weather Service, this pleasant spring stretch will continue into the weekend. Saturday will see highs around 82°F with partly cloudy skies. A warm Sunday with temperatures again reaching the low 80s will set the stage for a slight chance of showers after 2 a.m. on Sunday night, but these showers will remain minimal for most of the day.
On Monday, however, residents can expect a shift in conditions as rain becomes more likely, with a 70% chance of precipitation. Temperatures will drop slightly, with highs in the mid-70s. Rain could last into the evening hours, so be sure to prepare for a wet start to the workweek.
While the weekend offers pleasant conditions for outdoor activities, local authorities recommend staying updated on Monday’s rain forecasts. Travelers should also monitor roadways, particularly on the I-40 corridor, as rain could create slick driving conditions.
If you’re planning outdoor activities this weekend, take advantage of the sunny days before the rain moves in Monday. Stay safe and check forecasts regularly.
