Delmarva warms up today as a warm front lifts through, pushing highs into the mid to upper 40s with partly to mostly cloudy skies. A light southerly breeze increases tonight with a small chance of a stray sprinkle, but most spots stay dry and above freezing. Wednesday stays in the 40s but turns noticeably breezy ahead of a moisture-starved cold front. Cooler, breezy conditions follow Thursday and Friday, then Valentine’s Day kicks off the weekend with sunshine and a springlike feel. Late Sunday into early Monday, a storm system could bring precipitation—details still uncertain this far out.

Today is the best day of the week across Delmarva, with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s before clouds thicken late. A weak clipper brings a quick hit of light snow after midnight, ending by daybreak Wednesday with an inch or less. The bigger story late week into the weekend is a surge of Arctic air—dangerously cold wind chills and another round of light snow or snow squalls possible Friday.
