Severe Weather Outlook: SPC places Wilmington in a General Thunderstorms Risk today, but no categorical severe-weather risk is indicated for Delmarva. Most sampled locations remain mostly dry, with only Wilmington showing a scattered shower or thunderstorm possibility. WPC does not identify a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall risk; its broader rainfall and flooding signals are focused elsewhere.
Why This Setup: Dry air and light southwest winds are supporting a warm, mostly sunny day after areas of morning fog lift. A nearby warm front, stalled boundary, and low pressure track are broader pattern features, but they are not producing a widespread rain signal across Delmarva today.
Looking Ahead: Heat and humidity build into the early to middle part of the week. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase later in the week as additional systems approach.
Bottom Line: Expect a bright, warm, mostly dry Sunday, with the best small storm chance confined to the Wilmington area and cooler conditions along the beaches.
