First Alert Forecast: trending cloudier and milder

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Great to see you on this Tuesday evening. Like Monday, Tuesday temperatures fluctuated in the 60s this afternoon and will be in the 40s this evening. Your First Alert Forecast also affords the chance for a few outlying areas on the mainland to dip to the 30s in the earliest dayparts, with 70s expect by late week, ahead of our next cold front.

Clouds will become more prominent for the rest of the week, with rain chances ticking up by Friday, sparked by the aforementioned front and a sharpening low pressure system. Another shot of rain is looking plausible ahead of Thanksgiving.
