Delmarva turns sharply colder today with temperatures 20 to nearly 30 degrees below yesterday’s levels, gusty winds, and even the chance for a passing evening flurry. The chilly stretch continues through midweek before temperatures gradually rebound, leading to a much milder first weekend of spring with highs climbing into the 60s and 70s.

Colder-than-normal temperatures have settled across Delmarva, with highs ranging from the mid-30s to low 40s. The chill deepens by Thursday and into the weekend, as an arctic cold front approaches. While light snow is possible Friday, more impactful snow squalls and dangerously cold wind chills are expected Friday night into Saturday. Gusty winds behind the front may reach 50 mph, especially near the coast.
