WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – Your First Alert Forecast for the weekend features highs deep into the 70s amid growing rain chances ahead of an approaching cold front; 20 to 30% Saturday night, 20% Sunday, and 30 to 40% Sunday night. Although coverage will not be widespread, be alert for a few gusty storms to mix in.
A strong cold frontal passage will soon follow, and a much chillier Monday is expected with highs temperatures pinned in the 50s. For Monday night: get your heavier layers on standby, and have a plan for any sensitive plants as readings make a run for the freezing mark for the first time this fall. Tuesday night, it should be noted, will feature temperatures not quite as cold, but arguably a better chance of frost with calmer winds. To highlight this sharply colder change, your First Alert Weather Team has hoisted First Alert Weather Days for this period.
Other First Alert Forecast highlights in the next ten days include the likelihood of a temperature rebound late next week and, all the while, new tropical storm development remains unlikely across the Atlantic Basin…
