No injuries were reported. Sunday brought sunny, breezy conditions to Delmarva. A cold front moves in Sunday night, followed by a dry and pleasant start to the week. Rain returns Wednesday with cooler temperatures and unsettled weather through Saturday.
High pressure will deliver calm and seasonable weather to Delmarva on today, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 40s. Clouds will build overnight as a new system approaches, bringing a chance of light rain and snow showers Friday into Friday night. The weekend ushers in colder, blustery conditions, with highs in the 20s to 30s, and arctic air settling into early next week.
Delmarva residents can expect a mix of misty mornings, low clouds, and scattered showers starting Sunday. Highs will range from the mid to upper 70s, with some inland areas possibly reaching 80 degrees. The weather pattern will remain unsettled due to a stalled front and the remnants of tropical moisture, leading to continued cloudy and damp conditions into midweek. Occasional rain showers are likely, especially Monday night into Tuesday, with the potential for isolated downpours. A cold front will move through by Wednesday, bringing slightly cooler but generally dry conditions for the latter part of the week.
Delmarva will experience a continuation of muggy conditions tonight with areas of fog and temperatures dipping into the mid to upper 60s. The unsettled weather pattern will persist through midweek as an upper-level low and several shortwaves bring scattered showers to the region. Coastal low pressure could develop off the coast, leading to more moderate showers by Monday night into Tuesday. A cold front is expected to move through by Wednesday, followed by drier and more stable conditions towards the end of the week.
