NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center forecasts below-normal precipitation for February 2026 along coastal North and South Carolina, including Wilmington, the Grand Strand, and Lowcountry areas.
Precipitation Outlook
Coastal Carolinas face higher odds of drier-than-average February rainfall, with fewer soaking events from fronts or coastal systems. This signals longer dry spells and reduced moisture from Gulf or Atlantic sources.
Temperature Trends
Above-normal temperatures are likely across the Southeast coast, pairing with low rain to heighten dry soil, brush fire risks, and farm irrigation demands. February marks a drier winter-to-spring shift here.
