Weak high pressure provides calm weather tonight before rain returns late Wednesday into Wednesday night. A cold Canadian high brings a wintry chill across the Delmarva Peninsula this weekend.

Delmarva transitions to a quieter weather pattern Thanksgiving night as a low-pressure system departs, giving way to brisk northwest winds and clearing skies. While some rain earlier in the day brought much-needed moisture, drought conditions persist across the region. A reinforcing cold front late Friday will usher in the coldest air of the season, with temperatures dipping into the 20s and highs near 40 through the weekend. Dry, chilly conditions dominate early next week, as a clipper system approaches.
