Here’s today’s Bottom Line:
The clock is winding down on 2025, and from a weather standpoint, all looks to be quiet.
A dry and cold Canadian air mass is in place for today; high pressure centered over eastern Texas will build slowly eastward in our direction. Despite the full sunshine today, it’s going to be rather cold with highs in the mid to upper 40s.
Surface high pressure extends over us tonight… but in a change from yesterday’s report, I think that high is going to be displaced a little to the west. This will keep us from really bottoming-out with regard to temps, but it’s still going to be brrr cold tonight with lows deep into the 20s.
A little bit of southwesterly flow develops on Wednesday, and that’ll allow our temps to climb into the lower 50s… just a smidge (is that a word?) below normal.
If you have any New Year’s Eve plans, plan on seasonably cold temps but dry weather conditions and a mainly clear sky. Temps in the Whiteville area will be in the 35- to 39-degree range at midnight; temps in Wilmington will be a few ticks milder for your NYE festivities. Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Southport should be a degree or two either side of 40.
New Year’s Day will be sunny and seasonable with highs in the mid to upper 50s.
Our next weather system starts to take shape along the southern jet stream on Friday. We’ll see gradually increasing clouds during the day Friday. Thickening and lowering clouds for Friday night with rain probably breaking out after midnight. All indications are that Saturday will be a rainy day across the area with temps in the mid/upper 50s. Model blends show generally 0.5 to 1.0 inch of rain at this early juncture, but it’s really too early to pin that down right now. Rain comes to an end Saturday night as the low moves offshore and away. Longer-range modeling shows generally seasonable temps through the first full week of January… no real spikes either high or low. Mid/upper 50s by day, middle 30s by night.
