WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST
10/16/2025
WEATHER DISCUSSION: It is a beautiful Thursday afternoon across the Cape Fear with sunny skies and low humidities. Temps are in the upper 60s to around 70. Surface high pressure over the Great Lakes is ridging down into the Carolinas and it will control our weather tonight bringing clear skies and the chilliest low temps so far this fall dropping into the mid to upper 40s. The high pressure fully dominates Friday and Saturday keeping nice fall weather in place. Look for abundant sunshine Friday and pleasantly cool highs in the upper 60s to near 70. It will be chilly Friday night with lows in the upper 40s. Saturday brings nice and comfortable weather with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 70s. Ahead of our next cold front… Sunday brings sunshine and clouds with warmer highs in the upper 70s. As the cold front swings through Sunday night isolated rain showers will be possible. Behind this front Monday… look for highs in the lower 70s under partly cloudy skies. High pressure across the deep south should dominate our weather next Tuesday bringing plentiful sunshine and highs in the middle 70s. Another cold front swings through next Tuesday night again bringing a slight chance of showers followed by sunshine and scattered clouds next Wednesday and highs in the lower 70s.
