DELMARVA - Mostly clear to partly cloudy overnight with temperatures dipping into the upper 30s and low 40s by Monday morning. A cold start to the week, but with cloud cover and a light breeze, frost formation will be limited this morning, despite temperatures falling into the 30s and 40s. Monday itself will feel dramatically cooler with highs only in the mid 50s, or roughly 10 to 15 degrees below normal. A few showers are possible. Breezy northwest winds will continue, with gusts up to 30 mph under partly cloudy skies.

By Monday night into early Tuesday morning, conditions look much more favorable for widespread frost and freeze development as winds lighten and high pressure settles overhead. A Freeze Watch is in effect for interior Delmarva. Low temperatures by Tuesday morning are expected to dip into the low to mid 30s in many areas.

Temperatures then begin to recover Tuesday afternoon, with highs in the mid 50s to low 60s. Tuesday night should be mild enough to prevent any additional frost or freeze concerns, with lows mainly in the 40s.

A warm up begins Wednesday as temperatures approach 70. With the warming trend, a few showers are possible. Even warmer Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.
