After a springlike weekend in the 60s, Delmarva cools back to seasonable levels today with sunshine, before a colder, unsettled pattern brings a chance for rain and snow mid to late week.
Delmarva begins the first full week of February with mild temperatures, but a cold front moving in Monday night will set the stage for a shift in conditions. High pressure keeps the region dry through Tuesday, but a midweek system could bring a mix of rain, snow, and sleet by Wednesday afternoon. Another system arrives by the weekend, keeping unsettled conditions in the forecast.
A cold and blustery Saturday kicks off the weekend on Delmarva, with highs barely reaching 40 degrees and wind chills staying in the 20s. High pressure ensures dry conditions through Saturday night, but a weak disturbance Sunday night may bring rain or snow showers to the region. A stronger system midweek could deliver possibly snow showers midweek.
A cold front will clear the Delmarva region tonight, ushering in the coldest air mass of the season. Temperatures are expected to drop into the mid to upper 20s, with wind chills falling well below freezing. High pressure will bring dry but chilly conditions for Saturday, with wind chills making it feel like the 20s. A weak disturbance Sunday night could bring light snow or mixed precipitation to parts of the region.
Delmarva will experience increasing cloudiness late Sunday into early Monday as a frontal boundary moves through the region. Skies will clear Monday afternoon, with temperatures warming into the 60s and breezy northwest winds developing.
A sunny and breezy day kicks off the weekend across Delmarva, with temperatures slightly above normal for mid-November. However, brisk winds and high astronomical tides, aided by the full moon, will maintain minor coastal flooding concerns through the weekend. Overnight lows Saturday will drop near freezing inland, with warming temperatures expected Sunday into Monday. A weak cold front on Sunday night brings minimal impact, and above-average temperatures continue into early next week.
