Today starts a much calmer pattern across Delmarva after several days of wild weather that included temperature swings, record highs, and accumulating snow. Skies will be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s, though gusty south winds will ramp up this afternoon and evening to 35 to 40 mph. The weekend looks pleasant, with sunshine Saturday, more clouds Sunday, and temperatures warming into the upper 50s, 60s, and eventually near 70 by Monday ahead of a powerful cold front. That front could bring strong to severe thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening, along with heavy rain and damaging wind gusts, before much colder air rushes back in for Tuesday and Wednesday.
