⛈️ Delmarva Weather Update — Friday, August 14, 2026
Today's Weather Story: A weakening frontal boundary and nearby wave of low pressure will bring a north-to-south split across Delmarva today. Wilmington and Dover stay mostly dry with partly sunny skies and only a small shower chance, while shower and thunderstorm chances increase from Georgetown and Cambridge south through Salisbury, Ocean City, and Chincoteague. Highs range from the lower 80s at the beaches to the upper 80s inland, with light northeast to east winds.
Across Delmarva:
- Wilmington, DE: Partly sunny, high near 89°F, northeast wind 0 to 5 mph.
- Dover, DE: Partly sunny, then a slight chance of rain showers, high near 88°F, northeast wind 0 to 5 mph.

Active Weather Alerts: No active Delmarva alerts at this time.
Severe Weather Outlook: SPC places Dover, Lewes, Salisbury, Ocean City, Chincoteague, and Cape Charles in a General Thunderstorms Risk today; no categorical severe-weather risk is indicated for Delmarva. WPC does not indicate a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall risk.
Why This Setup: A cold front sinking south is weakening, while a wave of low pressure rides along the boundary later today into tonight. That setup focuses the better shower and thunderstorm chance across southern and coastal sections rather than northern Delaware.
Looking Ahead: Conditions gradually improve Saturday as high pressure builds overhead. Unsettled weather returns Sunday into Monday, with a higher chance for afternoon showers and storms Sunday.
Bottom Line: Plan for a mostly dry, partly sunny day in northern Delaware, but keep an eye on showers and thunderstorms farther south and along the coast.
