Severe Weather Outlook: SPC has no categorical severe-weather risk over Delmarva today or Friday. WPC signals a possible excessive rainfall and flooding concern for Delmarva as the pattern becomes more unsettled, but today’s local rain chances remain very low, generally 2% to 4%.
Why This Setup: Warm air and southwest winds are keeping temperatures above normal while dry air supports a mostly dry, bright day. An approaching cold front and upper-level disturbance will gradually increase moisture and shower chances later in the week.
Looking Ahead: Dry and above-normal conditions prevail through Friday. A wetter, cooler, more unsettled pattern is expected to develop this weekend, with rain chances increasing Sunday.
Bottom Line: Enjoy a warm, mostly sunny Thursday with light southwest winds and no meaningful rain concerns today.
