FNUS52 KILM 181304 FWFILM Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northeast South Carolina and Southeast North Carolina National Weather Service Wilmington NC 904 AM EDT Sat Jul 18 2026 .DISCUSSION... Above-normal heat and humidity continue through this weekend with isolated showers and storms today and better rain chances across northern areas late Sunday and again Monday afternoon as a cold front stalls north of the area. A stronger cold front approaches midweek with scattered to numerous showers and storms expected between Wednesday and Thursday. These fronts and enhanced rain chances should result in daytime highs closer to normal (low 90s) through much of this week. Wind profile analysis/fire control over flat terrain is Favorable. Fog potential for tonight is None.
