The National Weather Service in Wilmington, NC, has issued a weather forecast providing insight into significant weather changes expected next week. Below-normal temperatures are anticipated to dominate the region, along with a potential for winter precipitation.
Temperature Outlook
Starting Monday, January 21, 2025, temperatures are expected to drop significantly below normal for the season. High temperatures on Tuesday, January 22, are forecast to range between 30 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit. This trend aligns with the 6-10 day temperature outlook, which predicts below-normal temperatures across the eastern Carolinas.
While confidence is high in the cold weather outlook, it is important to note that these forecasts may change as new information becomes available in the coming days.
Potential Winter Precipitation
The development of a storm system that could bring moisture across the Carolinas is currently being monitored. However, confidence remains low in predicting the type and timing of precipitation. Snow remains a possibility, depending on how the system evolves, though it is too early to confirm the extent of the impact.

The National Weather Service emphasizes that the highest confidence lies in the forecast’s likelihood to change as the week progresses. Residents are encouraged to stay updated with routine weather briefings and updates. Links to helpful resources include:
