🌤️ Delmarva Afternoon Update — Saturday, June 13, 2026
Coastal Flood Advisory now in effect for the Delaware coast through midnight, and SPC has a Slight Risk on the table for Sunday across most of Delmarva.
What's Changed Since This Morning: The Day 2 outlook is the headline: SPC carries a Slight Risk for Sunday afternoon and evening covering Wilmington, Dover, Lewes, Ocean City, Salisbury, Chincoteague, and Cape Charles. The Mount Holly AFD now explicitly flags scattered severe thunderstorms likely Sunday into Sunday evening. WPC has added an excessive rainfall and flooding concern to monitor. Today itself remains quiet — sunshine continues with no organized severe threat.
Current Severe Weather Picture: SPC Day 1 shows no organized convective risk over Delmarva — today is a clean, sunny day. The story is Sunday: a Slight Risk (2 of 5) covers the sampled points across all three states, with damaging wind and locally heavy rain the primary concerns as a cooler, more unsettled pattern moves in. A separate severe threat is also flagged for Thursday afternoon and evening.
Active Watches & Warnings:
- Coastal Flood Advisory — Kent, Inland Sussex, and the Delaware Beaches; in effect 6:00 PM tonight until midnight (Minor severity, NWS Mount Holly).
Through Tonight: Sunshine holds into the evening with highs in the upper 80s inland — Salisbury topping out near 91°F — and cooler readings at the immediate beaches with that southeast flow (Ocean City 78°F, Chincoteague 81°F). Watch for minor tidal flooding during the evening high tide cycle along the Atlantic coast and Delaware Bay; a few low-lying roads near Lewes and the Delaware Beaches could see brief saltwater encroachment.
Bottom Line: Enjoy a quiet, sunny Saturday — but lock in your Sunday plans early, because the Slight Risk for severe storms is the real story heading into tomorrow afternoon.
