First Alert Forecast: wintry blast to linger through the weekend

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Great to see you on this Friday! Your First Alert Forecast is decidedly wintry in the Cape Fear Region, and will be for the next couple of days. Rain will gradually taper and exit after tallying several tenths of an inch for all of the Cape Fear Region. All the while, temperatures will continue to struggle amid continued northerly breezes. Even as many of the rainclouds break up Friday afternoon, highs will only reach the 40s to around 50, at best.

Your extended First Alert Forecast begins with a mostly clear and frigid Friday night with low temperatures mainly in the lower and middle 20s and wind chill values as low as the 10s - not as cold as the Christmastime air was, but certainly enough to warrant some extra TLC for people, pets, plants, and pipes. Saturday afternoon ought to feature fair skies and temperatures no loftier than the 40s. Then, expect 50s and 60s to make a quick comeback for Sunday and early next week under variable clouds and with modest shower chances.
