Severe Weather Outlook: SPC places Cape Charles, Chincoteague, Dover, Lewes, Ocean City, and Salisbury in a Marginal Risk for severe thunderstorms today. An isolated severe thunderstorm remains possible, while WPC does not indicate a Delmarva-specific excessive rainfall risk.
Why This Setup: The remnants of Isaias, nearby low pressure, an approaching cold front, and a tropical moisture feed are combining to keep rain widespread and winds onshore. Those onshore winds are also contributing to tidal flooding concerns near Delaware Bay and beach hazards along the Atlantic coast.
Looking Ahead: Rain and gusty conditions continue into Sunday night. A brief warmup is expected early next week before cooler temperatures return later in the week.
Bottom Line: Plan for a wet, breezy Sunday across Delmarva, with coastal and tidal hazards requiring extra attention.
