Wilmington, NC – Temperatures across eastern North Carolina will remain unseasonably cold this evening, with inland areas along I-95 facing potential frost and freeze conditions. Residents should protect sensitive plants and prepare for temperatures to dip into the mid-30s inland and low-40s near the coast.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, skies will remain mostly clear tonight, but the colder-than-usual weather will continue overnight, particularly in rural inland areas. Winds will calm, creating the perfect conditions for frost formation. The frost risk could persist into early Sunday morning, making it important to secure outdoor plants or consider covering them to avoid damage.
Sunday’s forecast brings some relief, with highs reaching 66°F under sunny skies. The warming trend will continue through the week, with Monday expected to hit the low 70s, though nighttime lows will stay in the 40s and 50s.
Looking ahead, Thanksgiving week will bring mild, mostly dry conditions, with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s and a slight chance of rain by Wednesday night. Travelers should remain cautious on roadways early in the week due to limited visibility from frost in the mornings.
Residents are urged to monitor local forecasts for updates, as conditions could change ahead of the holiday week.
