WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Stay cool on the job site this week! Expect toasty daily high temperatures in the 86 to 94 range with stressful heat index values of 96 to 104. Through this period, your First Alert Forecast features medium daily chances for heavy showers and storms; trust your WECT Weather App for interactive radar and precipitation and lightning alerts to help you execute your plans.
The National Hurricane Center continues to highlight a low probability storm development zone over the northern and eastern Gulf. In the event a system does slowly organize in this area, steering flow would eventually likely take it northwestward toward the Gulf Coast versus northeastward i.e. directly toward the Carolinas. In any case, your First Alert Weather Team will monitor each step this feature takes!
The rip current risk will likely hover in the low to moderate realm in the week ahead…
