WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST
10/17/2025
WEATHER DISCUSSION: After the chilliest night since April with temps down into the low 40s in Wilmington… it has been a beautiful fall afternoon in the Cape Fear with sunny skies and temps in the cool upper 60s. High pressure is centered across the Mid-Atlantic states and will fully dominate tonight with chilly low temps again dropping into the upper 40s as scattered clouds move by. Saturday the high pressure moves offshore bringing more pleasant weather with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 70s. Ahead of our next cold front… Sunday brings sunshine and clouds with a mild afternoon high in the upper 70s. As the cold front swings through Sunday night isolated rain showers will be possible. Behind this front Monday… look for highs in the lower 70s under partly cloudy skies. High pressure across the deep south should dominate our weather next Tuesday bringing plentiful sunshine and highs in the middle 70s. A dry cold front passes through next Tuesday night followed by dry high pressure next Wednesday and Thursday with mostly sunny skies and cooler highs around or a little over 70. Little if any measured rainfall is expected across southeast North Carolina over the next 7 days.
