WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) -Your First Alert Forecast opens the first weekend of August with sultry, yet seasonable, salty summery breezes. Expect weekend highs to peak in the upper 80s and lower 90s with heat index values in the triple digits. Please be rested, hydrated, and neighborly!
Chances for rain and storms will trend 40% Saturday night, 60% Sunday, and 60% for Monday. Plenty of outdoor time to be had, but always, but keep an eye on your WECT First Alert Weather App via rain & lightning alerts that follow you.
Other hazards include a high rip current risk – keep it safe in that warm summer surf! – and a stray cooling, drenching, heavy storm.
Tropical Storm Debby has formed in the Caribbean. For now, your First Alert Weather Team is watching for potential impacts in the Cape Fear. Stay plugged into your First Alert Forecast over the weekend as the forecast becomes more clear. In any case, stay prepared and brush up on the comprehensive preparedness content at wect.com/hurricane as Atlantic storm activity tends to ramp up in August anyway!
