WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Wind your clocks forward one hour for Daylight Saving Time Saturday night! “Spring Forward” is a great time to check your smoke / carbon monoxide detector batteries, too. And remember: Sunday’s will be the first post-7p sunset of 2026!
As Daylight Saving Time kicks in Saturday night, 7 p.m. sunsets will return to the Cape Fear for the first time in 2026. For the Port City, specifically, the next pre-7 p.m. sunset won’t hit until September 28. pic.twitter.com/BQXjnrWKgQ

Sunday’s forecast includes mixed skies, continued warmth, a low chance for a popup shower, and a remote chance for a strong, gusty afternoon / evening storm cell. Don’t cancel your plans for this, but have a backup just in case.
In your First Alert Forecast in the longer range… The week ahead will feature a smattering of low to medium chances for popup storms. Toasty / dusty / polleny 70s and 80s will remain common; frosty weather has a chance to return next week…
