Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 730 PM EDT Sun Apr 12 2026
WHAT HAS CHANGED
Aviation discussion updated for 0z TAFs.
KEY MESSAGES
1) Dry weather and above-normal temperatures will continue through next weekend.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry weather and above-normal temperatures will continue through next weekend.
Surface high pressure and ridging aloft will result in an increasingly warm and humid weather pattern this week. Dry weather and above-normal temperatures will continue for the entirety of this week. Mid-upper 80s will be common away from the coast with low 90s possible well-inland starting Thursday, nearing record temps at Florence and Lumberton.
AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Mainly VFR through 0z TAFs with increasing high clouds Monday and a few fair weather cumulus clouds. There is a chance of patchy fog across northeast SC (away from the coast) and inland counties of southeast NC. How low visibilities can get, and whether it will impact terminals, is uncertain, especially with some high clouds overnight and elevated winds not too far above the surface. Currently have a few hours of MVFR vsbys at inland terminals of FLO and LBT around dawn, clearing up quickly after sunrise. Relatively light winds overnight will become southerlies around 10 kts with gusts around 15 kts along the coast, and southwesterly inland.
Extended Forecast...Predominantly VFR. High pressure will dominate this upcoming week. Only exception could be some MVFR or even IFR fog heading into sunrise each morning.
MARINE
Through Monday...
ESE winds gradually veer to the SSW through Monday, lingering around 10 kts the whole time. Seas hang at 1-3 ft. A persistent ESE swell at 8-10 seconds remains.
Monday night through Friday...
High pressure offshore Mon night shifts to the more typical Bermuda High location by mid-week. Southwest winds 10-15 kt will be favored with heating inland potentially bumping nearshore speeds into the 15-20 kt range for a few hours each afternoon, especially later in the week. Seas 2-3 ft will be a mix of a southeast swell and a southerly wind wave.
ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NC...None.
SC...None.
MARINE...None.
