Bermuda High Pressure Brings Rain and Storms to Coastal Carolinas
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Wilmington, NC, has issued a marine forecast for the coastal waters from Surf City, North Carolina, to South Santee River, South Carolina, extending up to 60 nautical miles offshore. A weakening front is expected to lift tonight, giving way to Bermuda high pressure, which will dominate the region through Friday night. This weather pattern will bring south to southwest winds, with a chance of thunderstorms and showers persisting throughout the week. A cold front is anticipated to approach from the west on Saturday, potentially increasing rainfall in the area. Seas are forecasted to remain between 2 to 3 feet, with wave periods varying between 4 and 10 seconds depending on direction. (Source time: 528 PM EDT, Wed Aug 26, 2026)
