DELMARVA -- A fantastic fall Friday wraps up the workweek across Delmarva as high pressure settles over the region. Expect mostly sunny skies today with highs ranging from the mid-50s to upper 50s.
Mostly sunny skies, few clouds late in the day, highs in the mid 50s, wind gusts 20 mph.
West-northwest winds will occasionally gust near 20 mph. Clouds increase this evening, but conditions remain dry and cool with overnight lows dipping into the upper 30s to mid-40s.
Back into the 60s over the weekend ahead of a strong cold front that brings colder blustery conditions early next week.
Saturday starts partly cloudy, though clouds will thicken through the day ahead of an approaching warm front. Highs will reach the upper 50s to lower 60s. Showers develop Saturday night as the warm front lifts through the peninsula, and a rumble of thunder can’t be ruled out. Rain amounts will stay light—generally under a quarter-inch—with most of the heavier activity remaining north of Delmarva. With warm air moving in, temperatures Saturday night may hold in the 50s.
Sunday begins with scattered morning showers as a cold front approaches. Highs should occur by late morning or midday in the low to mid-60s before temperatures drop sharply during the afternoon. Once the front passes, skies clear from west to east and winds turn brisk out of the northwest, with gusts of 35 to 40 mph likely. Sunday night lows fall into the mid- to upper-30s.
Winds will ramp up Sunday as a cold front pushes through, gusts 40 MPH.
Early next week stays chilly. Monday will be blustery with highs only in the upper 40s to low 50s, feeling more like the 30s under mostly cloudy skies. A weak system passes to the south on Tuesday, bringing widespread clouds and a few light showers.
High pressure builds in through mid-week, keeping Wednesday and Thursday dry but mostly cloudy. Temperatures remain below average with highs in the 40s and overnight lows dipping into the upper 20s to lower 30s.
