Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts — because Newport’s picture-perfect spring streak is about to take a slight detour. Tuesday may start off warm and bright, but by the afternoon, clouds and breezy winds will start creeping in, bringing with them the chance of scattered showers.
It won’t be a stormy mess, but it’s the kind of spring shift that can catch you off guard if you’re not looking ahead.
Here’s What’s Coming Tuesday
Tuesday morning will feel like peak Carolina spring — clear skies, a light breeze, and temps climbing toward 80 degrees. It’s the kind of morning that makes you want to linger outside, grab lunch on the porch, or hit the beach early.
But by mid to late afternoon, that smooth weather starts to turn.
-
Clouds will move in, gradually dimming the sunshine.
-
A few scattered showers are expected to pop up later in the day — nothing severe, but enough to dampen plans if you’re caught without a rain jacket.
-
And then there’s the wind — it’ll pick up throughout the afternoon, with gusts between 10 and 20 mph, giving the evening a cooler, breezier feel.
By nighttime, things start to calm down again. Temperatures will dip to around 50 degrees, and the rain chances will taper off.
What About Wednesday?
Wednesday’s forecast looks a lot more stable — a mix of sun and clouds, breezy again, but dry. It won’t be as warm as Tuesday, with highs around 68 degrees, and you’ll definitely feel the difference in the morning and evening when temps drop to the mid-40s.
So yes, you’ll want to hang onto that light jacket.
Thursday’s Looking Like the Winner of the Week
If you’re planning anything outdoors this week, Thursday is the day to do it. The weather turns calm, skies stay clear, and highs hover right around 70 degrees. It’s about as perfect as spring gets — sunny, comfortable, and finally not windy.
A Few Quick Tips:
-
If you’ve got anything light sitting outside (patio cushions, trash bins, hanging plants), secure them before Tuesday afternoon.
-
Have a rain jacket or umbrella handy for later in the day — just in case those showers hit your area.
-
Allergy sufferers, be warned: the wind could kick up some extra pollen and dust on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
-
Plan for cooler nights, especially if you like to keep windows cracked — it’ll dip into the 40s a couple times this week.
It’s a classic North Carolina spring week — warm one minute, breezy the next, and just unpredictable enough to keep you checking the forecast. Tuesday brings the only real hiccup with a little wind and a chance of rain, but otherwise, we’re in for a solid stretch of seasonable, pleasant weather.
