WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Around lumbering low pressure, your First Alert Forecast stacks shower / thundershower chances of 20% Thursday, 50% Friday, 20% Saturday, 50% Mother’s Day, and 80% early next week. Rain’s well needed from a drought / fire standpoint; have your WECT Weather App to help you navigate your plans. Temperatures will tilt to the higher side of average - which, at this point in May, is a daily high near 80 and a nightly low near 60 - for Thursday and Friday.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - For the remainder of the work week, expect temperatures to reach the toasty 80s for daily highs under mainly dry skies. A cold front will stamp rain chances onto parts of the weekend - including 30% Saturday, 50% Saturday night, and 40% Sunday - but these shouldn’t amount to a washout. Look for a slightly cooler brand of spring weather - with days in the 70s and nights in the 50s - to follow the frontal passage.
