🌤️ Delmarva Weather Update — Monday, June 1, 2026
Heads up: Coastal Flood Statement in effect for Dorchester, Wicomico, and Somerset counties until 7:00 AM EDT.
Today's Weather Story: A weak cold front slides through early this morning, with a back door front nudging in later today to reinforce the cooler, northerly flow. Expect a mix of sun and clouds with highs running below average — mostly 70s peninsula-wide. A stray shower or rumble is possible across the southeastern Eastern Shore and lower Delmarva this afternoon, but most of the region stays dry.
Across Delmarva:
- Wilmington, DE: Sunny, high 77°F, N 5–10 mph
- Dover, DE: Mostly sunny, high 77°F, NE 5–15 mph
- Georgetown, DE: Mostly sunny, high 76°F, NE 5–15 mph

Active Weather Alerts:
- Coastal Flood Statement — Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset counties until 7:00 AM EDT. Nuisance tidal flooding expected along bay-side shores and the southern shore of the Potomac River.
Severe Weather Outlook: SPC carries a General Thunderstorms risk near Cape Charles, VA, meaning any storms that form this afternoon should stay below severe limits. No categorical severe risk is posted for the rest of Delmarva, and WPC does not flag a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall threat today. If you're south of Salisbury or out toward the Virginia Eastern Shore, just keep an eye on the sky later this afternoon.
Why This Setup: The morning cold front and a second back door front swinging in from the northeast are reinforcing dry, cooler air and steering moisture south of the region. That northerly to easterly flow is also why coastal towns like Ocean City and Lewes will run several degrees cooler than inland spots.
Looking Ahead: Tuesday and Wednesday stay quiet and below average under high pressure, with a far-offshore low staying well away from the coast. Late week trends notably warmer as a true summer pattern builds in for the weekend.
Bottom Line: A pleasant, breezy, sub-average June day across Delmarva — comfortable for outdoor plans, with only the lower Eastern Shore needing to watch for an isolated afternoon shower.
