A strong cold front will turn late-night rain into a chilly, wind-whipped Thursday at the Sussex County beaches and in Ocean City, with only a brief chance for wet snow before precipitation ends.

High pressure will bring clear skies and seasonably cool weather to Delmarva, with breezy west-northwest winds tapering off by tonight. A cold front moves in Wednesday night, bringing gusty winds, followed by a cool-down and possible frost Friday morning. The weekend turns more unsettled, with rain expected Friday night and another storm system likely by Sunday.

A stalled cold front south of Delmarva will bring sharply cooler, breezy conditions Monday, with highs only in the 70s under mostly cloudy skies with some showers possible. High pressure from the north will reinforce the cool pattern through midweek, while Hurricane Erin remains offshore but creates coastal hazards including high surf, rip currents, and possible flooding.
