WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Your First Alert Forecast suggests you an additional shower or storm with chances thereof near 30% this Father’s Day, Monday, and Tuesday, and near 20% Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Be alert for big heat, especially on some of the lower percentage days: high temperatures well into the sizzling 90s will help heat index values swell to the stressful 105 range for days like Wednesday, for example.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Look out for a few popup storms Thursday, mainly inland. Otherwise, expect sun and 80s. Over Father’s Day weekend, your First Alert Forecast continues to carry a risk of spotty, locally heavy, gusty storms. Amid the plenty of dry time, temperatures will regularly swell from the 70s around sunrise - which is up to an early 5:59 a.m. - to the 80s to near 90 for afternoon highs.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - On the heels of a hot and stormy weekend, your First Alert Forecast stacks more toasty, humid days, mild, muggy nights, and isolated summery storms for the week ahead. One slight change is: after reaching the lower 90s over the weekend, temperatures will dial back every so slightly to daily highs in the middle and upper 80s. Atlantic tropical weather is unlikely to add to the action as new storm formation appears unlikely across the basin.
