Severe Weather Outlook: SPC has no categorical severe-weather risk over Delmarva today or Monday. WPC has not identified a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall risk; however, periods of rain will accompany the coastal system.
Why This Setup: The nor’easter is expected to retrograde toward New Jersey today, keeping moisture and persistent northwest flow over the region. That same coastal circulation is driving elevated tides, rough surf, and dangerous rip currents along the Atlantic shoreline.
Looking Ahead: The storm should weaken and slowly depart Monday into Tuesday. Rain may linger on the Eastern Shore today before conditions gradually improve elsewhere.
Bottom Line: Plan for rain, brisk winds, and significant tidal and beach hazards, especially along Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia coastal areas.
