Mostly cloudy skies and near-normal temperatures are expected from late Wednesday evening through late Thursday evening, with only a small chance of brief flurries or sprinkles, especially on Christmas Day.

High pressure over the Southeast will bring seasonable temperatures and mostly dry conditions to Delmarva starting today. Temperatures will rise into the 50s by midweek as a January thaw sets in, but a stronger cold front late Wednesday will bring colder air by the week's end. Winds will gust up to 25 mph today, with highs in the mid to upper 40s. A brief dip in temperatures follows Thursday and Friday, with highs in the 20s and 30s before moderating slightly by Saturday.
