Delmarva has one more unsettled day ahead as a cold front approaches from the northwest. A Yellow Alert is in place for the threat of strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon into early evening, with damaging wind gusts the main concern. Drier, more comfortable weather returns Thursday through the weekend.
Mother's Day brought blue skies and temperatures in the low 80s across the Delmarva Peninsula, but the region will soon trade sun for showers as a series of low-pressure systems and cold fronts approach. Rain chances increase starting Monday night, with several rounds of wet weather expected through Saturday.
Delmarva should prepare for a light snowfall Friday evening, followed by a weekend of cold and dry conditions. A more significant winter storm is expected late Sunday into Monday, potentially bringing widespread snow accumulations and hazardous travel conditions. Below-normal temperatures and gusty winds will persist through the week, keeping the region in a deep freeze.
