After days of relentless thunderstorms dumping more than six inches of rain since the beginning of the month across parts of Sussex County, we are enjoying a quieter weekend. However, patchy fog and muggy nights will persist, and a cold front approaching early next week may renew the threat of showers and thunderstorms.
High pressure offshore will bring dry, hazy, and seasonably warm conditions to Delaware’s beach towns through late Wednesday before unsettled weather approaches later in the week.
Light rain will continue into Wednesday with periods of steady showers and a chance for thunderstorms, especially across southern Delaware, keeping temperatures cooler through midweek.
A slow-moving upper-level low will bring continued showers, fog, and a chance of thunderstorms to Delaware's coastal areas through early Wednesday, followed by a midweek lull before more unsettled weather returns.
A warm front will lift north through Sussex County Thursday night, followed by a humid Friday ahead of a slow-moving cold front that may bring scattered thunderstorms by Saturday.
A stretch of unseasonably warm weather arrives late Thursday through Friday evening, bringing sunshine, showers, and highs climbing into the 70s by the weekend.
After a breezy and mild Tuesday morning, clouds thicken along Delaware’s coast with light rain possible overnight and early Wednesday, before gradual clearing by midday.
A cold front clears the coast late Monday, followed by a brief sunny break Tuesday and a weak system bringing spotty rain Tuesday night, with milder air arriving by the weekend.
After bitterly cold wind chills earlier in the week, Sussex County will see calmer conditions late Friday through Saturday afternoon, with temperatures slowly rebounding.
Sussex County, Delaware, and Ocean City, Maryland, will remain under the grip of blustery winds and sub-freezing temperatures from Thursday into Friday, with some relief expected by the weekend.
