Lighter winds are, and will be, a nice dimension of your Memorial Day forecast.

Record highs? We'll see. I'll never bet against the airport.

The gusty showers have ended so you can leave your rain gear at home this Thursday. Breezes will feel cool and dry amid the sunshine.

[Gabe Ross - WECT @TVsGabeRoss]

...and your forecast for tomorrow. #WECTwx #ILMwx

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

Back on the plus side of ten hours of daylight this Monday! Expect dry and gradually clearing skies, brisk breezes, and seasonably cool temperatures. Have a good one!

With showers and storms, coastal flooding, and some good cold prep time Thursday, that first First Alert Action Day answered the bell. Now, to the second! Make sure your inflatable Santa is deflated and secured... and bundle up!

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

Temperatures are headed toward and into the 70s for the next two to three days - well above the average high of 62. The records are all in the 80s and all established during the famously toasty December of 1998.

[Gannon Medwick @medwick]

Early this Wednesday, ocean showers are angling for the Crystal Coast. Meanwhile, more widespread showers in the Sandhills will overspread most or all of the Cape Fear Region in the next few hours. This is the one day of this work week I will recommend an umbrella.

If you're headed to the land where hushpuppies FAR outnumber crescent rolls, have a safe trip!
