DELMARVA -- High pressure sliding east of Delmarva will keep conditions calm today, but a developing area of low pressure passing offshore late tonight will bring periods of light rain to the region. Friday stays overcast and gloomy across the peninsula, with highs ranging from 56 to 63 degrees. Southwest winds of 5 to 10 mph will offer a touch of mildness despite the clouds.
Overcast skies, highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, showers develop this evening and continue overnight.

Sunday will be sunny and cool as high pressure settles over the area. Highs reach the mid to upper 50s with a west-southwest breeze at 5 to 10 mph. Sunday night stays dry but slightly milder, with lows generally in the 30s as a weak disturbance passes to the north.

Forecast confidence decreases toward Thanksgiving as models diverge on the timing and evolution of a strong cold front. A slower-moving system could mean a warmer, wetter Thanksgiving with highs in the 50s to low 60s, while a faster front would bring a colder, drier holiday, with highs only in the 40s and 50s. Much colder air is expected to settle in by next Friday and persist through the holiday weekend.
Blast of cold air arrives after Thanksgiving to round out the month.
