Delmarva will enjoy a pleasant Friday with partly cloudy skies, lighter northeast winds and cooler temperatures compared to Thursday. Temperatures will range from the low to mid 60s at the beaches to the 70s inland, with some lower shore communities nearing 80 degrees.

Rainfall totals from Friday night through Sunday may reach half an inch to slightly over an inch inches across the area, providing beneficial rainfall despite the soggy weekend.
