Severe Weather Outlook: The SPC has no Day 1 or Day 2 categorical severe-weather risk over Delmarva. WPC has not identified a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall risk, so today’s low rain chances do not support a widespread heavy-rain concern.
Why This Setup: A slow-moving front is passing through today, but northerly to northwesterly winds and clearing behind morning fog are keeping most of the region dry. The broader pattern includes nearby low pressure and an approaching cold front, which will matter more as the weekend progresses.
Looking Ahead: A series of cold fronts and low pressure systems is expected to bring more unsettled weather beginning Saturday night and continuing through at least Tuesday. Conditions may also turn cooler next week as low pressure develops.
Bottom Line: Enjoy a mostly sunny, comfortably warm Friday, with the best chance for a shower limited to the southern tip near Chincoteague.
