Blustery Saturday with highs struggling to get to 40 degrees.
Looking ahead to Sunday, high pressure will begin to weaken as a weak disturbance approaches from the west. Sunday’s highs will climb into the mid-40s under partly cloudy skies, but temperatures will dip again overnight. This system could bring light rain or snow showers to portions of eastern Maryland, Delaware, and southern New Jersey late Sunday night. With cold air in place, precipitation could transition to snow, though little to no accumulation is expected.
As this disturbance moves out Monday, cold northwest winds will return, keeping temperatures below normal through midweek. By Wednesday night, a stronger system may bring the first measurable snowfall of the season for some areas. While details are still developing, rain could transition to snow as colder air takes hold overnight, leading to light accumulation in parts of the region.
Temperatures will remain below normal as the week ends, with another round of cold northwest flow keeping conditions wintry across Delmarva.
