Autumn Pattern

High pressure builds in and keeps us dry and cool through the weekend. 

DELMARVA -- It’s another beautiful day on Delmarva as sunshine and breezy west winds keep skies clear and temperatures pleasant. Highs will reach the mid to upper 60s this afternoon, with gusts up to 25 mph.

On Delmarva

Mostly sunny and highs in the low to mid 60s, brisk west winds gusting to 25 mph.

As high pressure builds in tonight, winds will ease and skies will remain clear — ideal conditions for radiational cooling. Overnight lows will drop into the mid to upper 30s inland and low 40s along the coast, setting the stage for patchy frost by early Friday morning.

Overnight Lows

Patchy frost Friday morning, clear skies and calm winds, lows in the 30s to low 40s. 

Friday and Saturday will feel more like late autumn, with highs struggling to reach 60 degrees. Nights will be quite chilly, dipping again into the 30s. Frost may return early Saturday, so those heading out to fall festivals should plan to bundle up.

Sunfest

Beautiful for Sunfest which gets going today in Ocean City. 

The timing couldn’t be better for outdoor events across Delmarva, including the start of Sunfest in Ocean City and the Sea Witch Festival in Rehoboth Beach. Despite the cooler air, both events are expected to enjoy dry and mostly sunny conditions.

Looking ahead to Sunday and early next week, tranquil but seasonably chilly weather continues under high pressure. Daytime highs will remain in the 50s with lows in the 30s and low 40s. By midweek, however, forecast models suggest a potential shift — low pressure could approach the region, bringing a chance for rain and wind Tuesday night into Wednesday.
