Today officially began spring at 10:46 this morning, and Delmarva is enjoying mostly sunny skies, mild temperatures, and increasing southwest winds gusting 30 to 35 mph. Clouds will build this evening ahead of a quick-moving system bringing light showers overnight into early Saturday, with rainfall totals staying under a quarter inch and showers ending by around 8 a.m. Saturday. The weekend stays mild, with highs in the 50s and 60s Saturday and well into the 70s inland Sunday, before a stronger cold front arrives Monday with showers, gusty winds, and much colder air to start next week.

After a long, cold winter, the first day of spring has arrived — and with it, several opportunities to get outside and enjoy the weekend.
Today stays below average across Delmarva with partly sunny skies, highs in the upper 30s to low 40s, and a cold east-northeast wind off the ocean keeping conditions raw. Tonight turns partly cloudy with lows in the upper 20s to low 30s. The chill lingers Thursday before a warmer trend arrives Friday, the first day of spring, with highs near 60. Even warmer air builds in for the weekend, pushing temperatures into the 60s Saturday and low 70s inland Sunday before showers and cooler air return early next week.
