DELMARVA - Sussex County residents can expect a stretch of quiet spring weather through Thursday evening as a weak area of high pressure remains in control. Skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy late Wednesday night into Thursday, offering comfortable sleeping weather and pleasant conditions to kick off the day.
Overnight lows will dip into the upper 40s and low 50s, thanks to calm winds and radiational cooling under clear skies. On Thursday, high temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 70s for most inland areas, while coastal spots stay cooler in the 60s to low 70s due to sea-breeze influence.
The warm, dry trend continues into Thursday night with fair skies and mild conditions, as the high pressure system begins to shift offshore. Moisture levels will gradually increase by Friday as a return flow sets up ahead of an approaching storm system.
Although Thursday will remain dry, changes are on the horizon. A disturbance is forecast to move in from the Ohio Valley late Friday, bringing increasing chances of rain into Saturday. While Thursday remains tranquil, residents should prepare for rounds of moderate to heavy rain and potential thunderstorms by the weekend. For now, enjoy the calm before the storm.
