Active Weather Alerts: No active Delmarva alerts at this time.
Severe Weather Outlook: The Storm Prediction Center has no categorical severe-weather risk over Delmarva today or Monday. WPC guidance does not indicate a Delmarva-specific excessive-rainfall risk, though showers will be common enough to affect outdoor plans, especially from central and southern Delaware through the Maryland and Virginia Eastern Shores.
Why This Setup: A nearby low-pressure system and stalled boundary are maintaining a moist, unsettled pattern over the region today. Canadian high pressure will gradually build in behind the system, helping showers taper off tonight.
Looking Ahead: Conditions should gradually dry out tonight as cooler air settles in. Much of the upcoming work week looks dry and seasonable, with cooler temperatures persisting under Canadian high pressure.
Bottom Line: Plan for a cool, damp Sunday with showers likely across most of Delmarva, especially south and near the coast.
