The first "real" heat wave of 2026 continues this Sunday, but it appears to have crested. Along with the temps, the heat index should taper from near 105 Sunday afternoon to near 100 Monday to 90 or 95 Tuesday.

Hot west winds will shift to [slightly] cooler easterlies this Monday. There's a chance for a lucky few popup showers and thundershowers on the nose of that shift.

If Wilmington does manage 92, Sunday'll be the hottest day so far in 2026 (previous: 91, May 28). In any case, it's going to be very toasty, so stay cool, my friend!

Recent rains have eased the drought - slightly - for about a 15-mile radius around Hampstead. For the most part, though, it continues in a severe to extreme fashion, and it'll likely be around a long while longer.

Check out this scheme for sunrise Wednesday. Will you be rolling out with a sweatshirt?

In a similar setup to Saturday, keep an eye out for some spotty showers and storms this Monday (activity may briefly organize into a line late).

Storms firing on another hot day... As expected, the flow pattern is directing them more toward the coast than on previous days. Keep an eye out!

More popup storms... With a front pressing in, you'll note a better chance that some cells jump the sea breeze and reach the beaches.

Steamy sun over a recent downpour... South-facing beaches like Ocean Isle have a moderate rip current risk this Memorial Day. For east-facing beaches, that risk's even a little higher. Have a safe time!

Might's well put the humidity to work, no? Rain chances close into the Cape Fear as soon as Thursday. Our in-house model even "likes" a small, subtropical looking low (see that swirl?) to enhance the odds. We'll look out, for now, most models aren't too excited about it.
