Today across Delmarva, a powerful cold front is bringing a stunning turnaround in the weather, with temperatures crashing 40 to 50 degrees from yesterday’s record-breaking warmth. Rain showers will mix with and briefly change to wet snow late this afternoon for a few hours, with only a light coating possible on grassy and elevated surfaces while roads stay mostly wet. Gusty winds of 30 to 40 mph will add to the chill, sending wind chills into the upper 20s and low 30s by late day.

Delmarva enjoys one more day of record-setting warmth today, with inland highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and cooler readings near the water. Gusty south winds, higher humidity, and increasing clouds will build through the afternoon before a threat for a few strong to severe storms develops this evening, mainly between 6 and 10 p.m. A strong cold front moves through late tonight into Thursday morning, bringing falling temperatures, gusty northwest winds, and much colder air to end the week.

High pressure moving offshore will bring record warmth to Delmarva through Tuesday night, with temperatures remaining mild overnight. A cold front will arrive by late Wednesday, bringing cooler air and increased winds as the region heads into Thursday.

A prolonged dry spell continues across Delmarva as a warming trend sets in through the weekend and early next week. Today temperatures will reach the mid-to-upper 70s under clear skies, with slightly higher humidity. By early next week, temperatures could approach near-record highs in the low 80s, though coastal areas may remain cooler. While a cold front midweek brings a brief cooldown, significant rainfall remains unlikely, extending the already notable dry streak.
