DELMARVA -- Today across Delmarva, below average temperatures will continue under partly sunny skies. Highs will only reach the upper 30s to low 40s, and an east-northeast wind coming in off the ocean will keep conditions feeling cold and raw through the day.
Highs in the low 40s inland, upper 30s at the coast as below normal temperatures continue.
Tonight, skies become partly cloudy with temperatures falling into the upper 20s to low 30s.
Temperatures gradually step up each day through the weekend.
The chilly pattern holds into Thursday as easterly flow remains in place, but with mostly sunny skies, afternoon highs will recover into the upper 40s to low 50s.
Light showers possible overnight Friday into Saturday morning, cold front late Sunday night into Monday.
By Friday, changes begin to arrive as temperatures start to climb. Spring officially begins at 10:46 a.m., and Delmarva will see mostly sunny skies with highs around 60 degrees.

Late Sunday into Sunday night, a cold front will slide southeast through the region, bringing the chance for scattered showers. Behind it, more seasonable temperatures return Monday.
