FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 52°F. Normal low: 32°F.
A frontal boundary will linger near our region over the next several days, being the main focal point for our weather through the rest of the week.
With the proximity of the boundary, sunshine will be in short supply for the rest of the week, although our best chances to see some sun will come on Friday and Saturday.
Tuesday night, the boundary slowly slides to the north, keeping on-and-off showers in the forecast through Wednesday. It will be another night when our overnight low will occur in the evening, with temperatures slowly rising overnight to near 50°F by sunrise Wednesday as the frontal boundary slides over Delmarva. With cold waters around the peninsula, I don't want to rule out some areas of fog developing overnight, especially near the water.
Dense Fog Advisories are in effect for the maritime zones around the peninsula overnight.
Another impulse of energy brings a chance for mainly light showers on Wednesday along with mainly cloudy skies. But it will be quite a bit warmer, with highs reaching the upper 50s.
And it just gets warmer after that, with high temperatures Thursday through the weekend reaching at least the low 70s each day.
During this period, we won't see much precipitation, but some showers will be possible on Friday and again on Sunday, with a mix of clouds and sun. A few thunderstorms will even be possible on Sunday evening. No severe storms are expected at this time, but watch this space for updates.
In the long range, temperatures are expected to average above normal, and precipitation above normal for March 10 - March 16.
