Severe Weather Outlook: SPC places Wilmington, Dover, Lewes, Salisbury, Ocean City, Chincoteague, and Cape Charles in a General Thunderstorms Risk area today; no categorical severe-weather risk is indicated for Delmarva. WPC does not identify a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall or flooding risk, despite broader rainfall and flooding signals elsewhere in the country.
Why This Setup: The morning cold-front passage helps shift winds from southwest to west and allows drier air to take over through the afternoon. A nearby low-pressure system and upper-level disturbance are part of the broader pattern, but the local forecast favors clearing rather than widespread rain.
Looking Ahead: Fair weather returns later Sunday and should continue into the middle of the upcoming week. Temperatures stay seasonably warm with comfortable humidity, while shower and thunderstorm chances return late in the week.
Bottom Line: Plan for a warm, mostly sunny and mostly dry Sunday across Delmarva, with only a limited shower chance near Georgetown this morning.
