Delmarva will begin the holiday weekend with raw, breezy, and damp conditions today as spotty showers move across the peninsula. Temperatures will stay in the upper 50s to low 60s with east winds gusting up to 30 mph. A high rip current risk and cold ocean water will make beach and surf conditions dangerous today and tomorrow. Rain becomes steadier Saturday into Saturday night, with beneficial rainfall expected before showers taper Sunday. Memorial Day looks somewhat warmer, but showers may still linger at times.

Delmarva’s record-breaking heatwave is over as a cold front stalls nearby, bringing cloudy, breezy and unsettled weather through Memorial Day. Periods of rain, cooler temperatures and elevated rip current risks are expected, though the rainfall will be beneficial amid ongoing severe drought conditions.
Delmarva will enjoy mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures today, with breezy southwest winds continuing into tonight. Tuesday turns summer-like with highs in the low 80s before a cold front brings scattered showers Wednesday and a beneficial soaking rain Thursday. Most of Mother’s Day weekend looks dry and pleasant.
Delmarva will enjoy a pleasant Friday with partly cloudy skies, lighter northeast winds and cooler temperatures compared to Thursday. Temperatures will range from the low to mid 60s at the beaches to the 70s inland, with some lower shore communities nearing 80 degrees. A spotty shower is possible Friday evening into the overnight, but the bigger change arrives this weekend as low pressure brings widespread rain, chilly temperatures and breezy coastal conditions. Rainfall totals from Friday night through Sunday may reach half an inch to slightly over an inch inches across the area, providing beneficial rainfall despite the soggy weekend.
Delmarva started the day with a cold morning, with many spots away from the coast in the 20s, but sunshine and lighter winds will help temperatures recover into the mid to upper 50s and near 60 this afternoon. Milder air builds in tonight and Wednesday, with highs surging into the upper 60s and low 70s. Even warmer weather arrives Thursday and Friday before a cooler pattern and the chance for beneficial widespread rain return this weekend.
