Severe Weather Outlook: SPC has a Marginal Risk for severe weather today covering Wilmington, Dover, Lewes, Salisbury, Ocean City, Chincoteague, and Cape Charles. Georgetown and Cambridge are not listed in the provided risk area. Tuesday carries a Slight Risk for Wilmington, Dover, Lewes, Salisbury, Ocean City, Chincoteague, and Cape Charles. WPC does not indicate a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall risk today.
Why This Setup: An approaching cold front, nearby low pressure, tropical moisture, and an upper-level disturbance are combining to keep the atmosphere unsettled. That setup supports showers and thunderstorms as daytime warmth builds.
Looking Ahead: Tuesday is expected to bring the highest chance for more widespread showers and thunderstorms, with potential for damaging wind gusts and hail. Unsettled weather continues into midweek before mainly dry conditions return later in the week.
Bottom Line: Plan for warm conditions and periodic showers or thunderstorms today, with the greatest rain chances across Delaware and lower chances toward the Virginia coast.
