WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Happy Friday evening! Your First Alert Forecast will include variable clouds and sunshine across the Cape Fear Region this weekend. Henri, breaking away from Bermuda, will maintain strong tropical storm or hurricane strength as it makes an important turn north this weekend. The Cape Fear Region is likely to avoid direct impacts from Henri; enhanced swell and dangerous rip current activity is likely through Saturday.

Apart from any showers and storms, temperatures are set to grow to highs in the upper 80s to locally, near 90, which includes upper 90s and lower 100s for the heat index. At night, it’s been a struggle lately to see temperatures drop below 70, particularly in Wilmington. That pattern will continue for the foreseeable future, with middle and upper 70s through the weekend.

Elsewhere in the tropics, Grace will strengthen in the southern Gulf of Mexico before making another landfall on the mainland of Mexico. Henri, breaking away from Bermuda, will maintain strong tropical storm or hurricane strength as it makes an important turn north by the weekend.
