| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 123pm EST Tuesday Feb 10 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Small Craft Advisory has been issued for overnight into early Wednesday afternoon. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Warm with increasing rain chances on Wednesday. 2) Dry and relatively cooler Thursday and Friday but warming into the weekend with increasing rain chances early next week. KEY MESSAGE 1...Warm with increasing rain chances on Wednesday. A cold front will move through the area Wednesday and Wednesday night. Moisture and forcing both look relatively weak here, bringing only light rain that should bring accumulations of only up to a quarter of an inch at best. Wednesday's high temperatures still remain 8-10 degrees above seasonal norms, but cloud cover means that they won't get quite as warm as they got today. Elsewhere, light sea fog or mist possible at the coast, particularly tonight into Wednesday morning. KEY MESSAGE 2...Dry and relatively cooler Thursday and Friday but warming into the weekend with increasing rain chances early next week. High pressure will build down from the NW Wednesday night into Thursday with dry and relatively cooler but seasonable weather Thurs into Fri. A coastal trough/warm front will produce increasing lift late Sat into Sunday with increasing rain chances. Greater chance of rain will come late Sunday into Monday as a storm system tracks across the Gulf coast states. Still too early to predict just how much rain we will get through early next week. Marine Through Wednesday...Gradient winds out of the southwest increase ahead of a cold front. Gusts up to 25 kts expected right along a line that extends roughly 20 nm offshore, prompting a Small Craft Advisory that kicks in at 1am EST tonight, continuing until 1pm EST Wednesday afternoon. Seas get up to 3-5 ft at the peak of the wind wave gradient, potentially up to 6 ft out 20 nm from shore from Little River Inlet, SC to Cape Fear, NC. The front itself starts moving through the waters Wednesday afternoon, where a veering wind shift to the northwest will occur, decreasing the speeds to around 10 kts. Seas also come down slightly towards 2-4 ft. Wednesday night through Sunday...NW to N winds will develop as high pressure builds down behind a cold front Wednesday night into Thurs. May see some wind gusts up to 25 kts. Winds and seas will diminish through Thurs afternoon with seas dropping from 2 to 4 ft down to less than 3 ft Thurs night through Sat. Winds and seas will increase again Sat night into Sunday as next storm system moves across the Gulf Coast states. NOAA Wilmington NC Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories NC...None. SC...None. Marine Small Craft Advisory from 1am to 1pm EST Wednesday for AMZ250-252-254-256. |
