| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 158pm EDT Monday Oct 12 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Forecast remains consistent with a warm and dry week followed by the coolest temperatures of the fall this weekend. .KEY MESSAGES... - 1) Dry forecast dominates the work week, with temperatures soaring above seasonal norms. - 2) Most significant cooldown of the season so far settles in this weekend. KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry forecast dominates the work week, with temperatures soaring above seasonal norms. Upper ridge in the Gulf will slowly push northward towards Texas and Louisiana, before moving eastward into the Deep South this week. Subsidence keeps the forecast dry. Even more noticeable is a mid-October heatwave that sends high temperatures in the mid- to-upper 80s. Wednesday through Friday appear to be the warmest, where several spots could be flirting with 90 degrees. Dewpoints will remain in the mid 60s much of this week, getting near 70 at times during the coast. KEY MESSAGE 2...Most significant cooldown of the season so far settles in this weekend. Medium range guidance remains consistent with the Summer-like ridge finally getting pushed into the Atlantic by a potent upper trough that dives southward from the upper Midwest. This pushes a dry cold front through the region, and the Carolinas are finally greeted with glorious fall air by the weekend. Highs only reach the mid 60s, while lows Saturday night dip into the low-to-mid 40s. Break out the pumpkin spice! Marine Through Friday...All headlines are down as west winds gradually veer to the north by this evening, coming down to a gentle breeze. Seas improve to 1-3 ft. Gentle breeze sticks around through Friday morning, coming from the NE Tuesday, and then back to the SW by Wednesday. Seas improve even more to 1-2 ft. By midday Friday, gradient winds increase to a fresh breeze ahead of the next frontal system. Seas go up to 2-4 ft. Dry forecast dominates.
