Delmarva starts the week with marine clouds and patchy fog as an onshore flow keeps skies gray and temperatures mild. A cold front will bring showers and a low-end severe threat Tuesday before high pressure brings sunshine and near 90-degree warmth by midweek. Rain chances return by the weekend as another front approaches.
While severe storms remain west and south of the region, Delmarva starts the week under persistent cloud cover, patchy fog, and a low-end risk of isolated storms as a cold front approaches. Warmer, sunnier days are on the horizon by midweek.
Delmarva faces a marginal risk for severe storms Sunday afternoon and evening as a frontal boundary stalls over the region.

Quieter weather returns Monday before another round of rain and storms arrives Tuesday. The second half of the week turns drier and significantly warmer, with highs reaching the 80s and possibly nearing 90.
