Slight chance of overnight showers ahead of sunny but cool Tuesday

There is a slight chance of showers during the overnight hours, which otherwise will be mostly cloudy with a low around 41 degrees.

For Tuesday, it will be mostly cloudy and cool, but dry. Skies gradually become sunny with a high near 56 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington. Tuesday night will be partly cloudy with an overnight low around 37.

Patchy frost is possible before 7 a.m. Wednesday, which could prompt an advisory from the NWS to cover or bring indoors any sensitive plants. Frost is unusual in the area after Mother’s Day, which was Sunday, and is the date widely seen as the safe date for gardeners to do their annual planting.

For the rest of the day Wednesday it will be sunny with a high near 61 degrees. Wednesday night will be mostly clear with a low around 38 degrees.

Dry weather is expected to continue through the weekend. Temperatures will gradually rise from middle to upper 60s Thursday and Friday to highs in the low 70s for the weekend.
