Severe Weather Outlook: SPC shows no categorical severe-weather risk over Delmarva today. WPC does not indicate a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall risk; its broader pattern guidance includes a nearby low, an approaching cold front, onshore flow, and tropical moisture, but those rainfall signals are focused elsewhere.
Why This Setup: A departing nor’easter is keeping clouds in place, while northwest winds gradually ease after the morning high-tide cycles. Coastal flooding impacts are tidal, not rainfall-driven, and should continue to lessen through this evening.
Looking Ahead: One to two more rounds of mainly minor tidal flooding remain possible through this evening in affected coastal areas. A warming trend is expected later this week, with dry conditions and highs reaching the mid to upper 80s before a cold front likely crosses Friday into Saturday.
Bottom Line: Expect a mostly cloudy, cool, and largely dry Monday, but plan around tidal coastal flooding in the warned and advised areas.
