National Weather Service Wilmington NC
320 PM EDT Tue Apr 16 2024

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will lead to unseasonably warm and quiet weather
through midweek. A series of weak disturbances bring only a
slight chance of showers towards later in the week. Some slightly
higher relative humidity values are slated for late week into
next weekend. Rain chances may start to increase later in the
weekend, with temperatures gradually starting to fall.

Fog potential for tonight is Low.
