A perfect spring day here in eastern North Carolina with high temperatures moving into the mid 70s by mid afternoon with boatloads of sunshine to boot.  Look for some breezes to pick up later in the day as a cold front starts to move into the western portion of the state after lunchtime.

That cold front bears down on the Wilmington Area during the overnight hours bringing a chance for showers through the early part of the day Thursday and dragging cooler weather in for Friday.

Another rain chance late Saturday and Sunday as a weak upper level disturbance moves overhead.

High pressure moves in finally bringing some much nicer weather today with daytime high temperatures running close to 70F this afternoon. 

While we will start the day with some clouds, by this afternoon it will be mostly sunny and nice.  That high pressure moves directly overhead for Wednesday keeping conditions improving and warming quickly as we roll into the upper 70s on Wednesday near Wilmington. 

Fact is some inland locations could push above the 80 degree mark as we will see temperatures push above average.

Thursday the chance for showers increases in association with an advancing cold front from the west. 

Shower are by no means a given, but the middle levels of the atmosphere become more favorable for the development of showers and thunderstorms as this system skirts the area.  Slightly cooler than normal conditions are expected as we head into the weekend - with more shower chances for Sunday afternoon.
