Delmarva dries out this afternoon after morning showers, with partly sunny skies, gusty southwest winds, and highs in the upper 40s to near 50. Tonight stays above freezing in the mid to upper 30s. A weak system brings a chance for light showers Thursday late afternoon through Thursday night, followed by a pleasant, partly cloudy Friday. The weekend looks outstanding, peaking Saturday with sunshine and highs in the upper 50s to near 60, then cooling a bit Sunday behind a backdoor cold front. Early next week bears watching for another system that could bring a wintry mix, but confidence is still low.

Delmarva's weather for the weekend will feature increased cloud cover on Friday as a weakening ridge gives way to an approaching cold front. Friday night into early Saturday could bring isolated showers, but overall, the weekend will remain mostly dry with cooler temperatures under the influence of high pressure. A second cold front is expected to approach on Sunday, potentially bringing more showers late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Delmarva residents can expect a mix of misty mornings, low clouds, and scattered showers starting Sunday. Highs will range from the mid to upper 70s, with some inland areas possibly reaching 80 degrees. The weather pattern will remain unsettled due to a stalled front and the remnants of tropical moisture, leading to continued cloudy and damp conditions into midweek. Occasional rain showers are likely, especially Monday night into Tuesday, with the potential for isolated downpours. A cold front will move through by Wednesday, bringing slightly cooler but generally dry conditions for the latter part of the week.
