As we look ahead to the latter half of the weekend, our weather pattern will be quiet with warmer temperatures.
Wednesday night we're expecting clear skies and light winds, which will allow for another chilly overnight with temperatures falling into the unseasonably cold mid to upper 20s.
As high pressure departs to the east, winds shift to the south, leading to a milder, but still cool Thursday. The day will start out mostly sunny with a weak upper trough causing some clouds to mix with the sun in the afternoon.
Friday is shaping up to be a gold-medal day, with lots of sunshine and mild afternoon highs near 60°F with light winds.
On Saturday, a cold front will swing across Delmarva bringing our next round of appreciable rain. The timing as of Tuesday evening looks to be in the morning Saturday, with clearing in the afternoon.
Temperatures continue warmer, climbing into the mid to upper 60s.
Then we're even a little warmer on Sunday, with a mix of clouds and sun and highs in the low 70s.
