FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 52°F. Normal low: 32°F.
Our severe weather threat on Delmarva has ended as the strongest of the storms have moved out to the ocean.
For the rest of our Wednesday night into Thursday morning, we'll see scattered on-and-off showers that could come with a few downpours. Lows will be mild, only falling into the mid 40s.
While a stray shower could linger through the Thursday morning commute, Thursday will see clearing skies becoming mostly sunny by afternoon. It will continue to be breezy, though, with west winds gusting to 35 mph or more at times. Temperatures will not be too chilly, though, in the mid 50s.
Temperatures stay generally above normal through Saturday. Guidance is suggesting a storm system will pass to our south this weekend. It looks like the majority of any precipitation will stay to our south, but I don't want to rule out increased cloud cover and a chance of a stray shower on Saturday and Sunday, especially on the Lower Eastern Shore and over Accomack County.
We'll be dry and mainly sunny to start the next work week with seasonable temperatures in the mid 50s Monday, and warm temperatures in the mid 60s Tuesday. A more substantial storm system could affect Delmarva later in the week.
In the long range, temperatures are expected to average above normal, and precipitation above normal for March 12 - March 18.
