First Alert Forecast: rain chances spike briefly, more sunshine for the week ahead

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Good to see you this Sunday! Clouds will increase ahead of a system approaching from the west but shower chances will be minimal before a low attempts to develop off the coast later this evening. Any rain chances in association with this system will exit by early Monday morning.

An approaching system from the west will try to redevelop into a coastal trough of low pressure offshore Sunday evening. Clouds will increase Sunday but it will be mainly dry, Sunday evening is the highest shower risk. #WECTwx #ILMwx pic.twitter.com/lBMRli4HKE
