DELMARVA- After a frosty start, temperatures are slowly rising through the 40s and into the 50s. Skies will be sunny to mostly sunny with winds gusting to 25 mph at times. Gorgeous weather for Opening Day in DC for the Phillies and Nationals this afternoon.
Thursday night will be milder compared to recent nights, with lows ranging from the upper 30s inland to mid 40s near the water. Clouds will gradually increase overnight as a warm front approaches from the south.
Friday will feel noticeably warmer, especially away from the coast, as the warm front lifts through the region. Inland highs will climb into the low to mid 60s, while the ocean influence keeps coastal towns like Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City a bit cooler in the upper 50s. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy, and while most of the day remains dry, scattered showers are possible Friday afternoon along a warm front.
The warm front may bring light, spotty rain overnight into early Saturday, though rainfall totals are expected to be minimal. Early Saturday morning lows will be relatively mild, in the upper 40s and 50s.
Looking ahead to Saturday, the region is expected to experience summer-like warmth as temperatures surge into the 70s to near 80 away from the coast, with 60s and 70s at the beaches.
Sunday remains mild with shower chances increasing later in the day, with highs into the 70s, cooler for the coast.
