| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 227pm EDT Sunday Oct 4 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Aviation discussion updated for 18Z TAFs. Key messages remain similar to previous forecast. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are expected tonight with a cold front lingering in the area. KEY MESSAGE 1...Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are expected tonight with a front lingering in the area. A cold front currently sits along the coast with SW flow running over the stable air at the surface. The front will continue moving southeast tonight as an upper trough over the U.S. East Coast shifts eastward. In response, we expect to see some redevelopment of showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms overnight, mainly over the southeast half of the area. Drier air at the surface and aloft will begin working into the area Monday and should bring about an end to most of the rainfall by afternoon. Cooler air will filter into the area Monday night and Tuesday. Marine Light southerly to southwest flow continues with a slow-moving cold front along the coast. The front will move offshore tonight with northerly, then northeast, flow developing behind the front. The surge of stronger winds holds off until a reinforcing trough reaches the waters on Monday night or early Tuesday. Still expect to see headline conditions develop once the surge arrives. Anticipate conditions to persist into Wednesday. NOAA Wilmington NC Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories NC...None. SC...None. Marine None. |
