The drought situation on Delmarva is only going to get worse over the coming days as high pressure remains in control of our forecast to start the week. This morning we woke up with temperatures much warmer out the door thanks to the wind that continues to pump into the south and southwest with morning in the 60s. Thursday will be another very warm day with temperatures back into the 70s and 80s on Halloween. The wind will also continue to pick up throughout the day with wind gusts over 30+ mph at times throughout the afternoon today. As the kids head out trick or treating on Thursday evening...it will be in the 70s…dropping into the 60s on a comfortable and quiet evening.
As we continue into Thursday night and early on Friday, a cold front will be arriving and overspread some clouds around through the early Friday morning. There will be enough moisture holding that we could see a stray sprinkle or light shower, but it is looking more and more likely that this front will be another dry one. The wind will pick up into the afternoon hours of Friday and push in some cooler air for the upcoming weekend.
Once this front clears us…high pressure regains control of our forecast and sits overhead for the weekend and into next week. Temperatures will be right where we should be, in fact, it may still be a touch warmer then average with highs in the mid to upper 60s. This high pressure sits overhead again most of next week with temperatures soaring again by the middle of next week with highs in the 70s and low 80s by Wednesday and Thursday.
