WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) -A stalling cold front will bring elevated rain chances onto parts of the weekend – including 10-20% Saturday, 50% Saturday night, and 60% Sunday – but these shouldn’t amount to a washout. A few gusty storms are possible with this front, so make sure to keep notifications turned on to your WECT First Alert Weather App! Afternoon highs will go from the lower and middle 80s Saturday to the middle and upper 70s Sunday with overnight lows in the 60s.
Saturday is the last day of the Wilmington National Weather Service’s rip current awareness week- the top weather-related killer in the eastern Carolinas. As always, trust your First Alert Weather Team to give rip current risk forecasts and safety facts a high profile on television, online, and on your WECT Weather App throughout beach season. Saturday’s rip current risk for Cape Fear beaches is MODERATE and will likely stay elevated all weekend.
