FEEL GOOD FRIDAY

As the weekend begins, a series of systems will bring several periods of rain. Confidence is high that rain will develop late Friday and continue off and on into Friday night, then become more widespread Saturday as a warm front lifts through the region. Saturday is expected to be generally warm and wet, with temperatures ranging from the low to mid 60s and the potential for highs to peak later in the day or even in the evening in some spots. Heavier rain is possible later Saturday as the first front pushes through, and a rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out, but severe weather is not expected.

Futurecast

Saturday will feature periods of rain as an area of low pressure passes to our north, a cold front pushes through late Saturday -Sunday.

Showers may linger into Saturday night and early Sunday until a secondary front moves through. Winds will increase behind that front Sunday, though the chance of wind gusts reaching advisory levels is low.

Rainfall totals remain uncertain, but most guidance supports at least a half inch across Delmarva, with some projections showing localized totals of an inch to an inch and a quarter. 

Turns windy and much cool Sunday afternoon, and back into the low to mid 40s Monday. Next week look mostly dry with seasonable temperatures.
