FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 76°F. Normal low: 56°F.
A stationary front has been situated near Delmarva all throughout the long Memorial Day weekend, and it's not going to leave for a few more days.
That will mean continued on-and-off shower and thunder chances through at least Wednesday.
After a rather quiet Monday afternoon, an impulse of energy along the boundary will bring more widespread showers and possibly a few thunderstorms Monday evening into the overnight. No severe thunderstorms are expected, but be prepared for gusty downpours if you have to be on the roads this evening.
Areas of fog are expected to develop by midnight. Dense Fog Advisories are posted for the waters around Delmarva through at least Tuesday morning.
After some showers Tuesday morning, the rest of Tuesday will be dry, but with mainly cloudy skies. Temperatures will be seasonable, though, in the mid 70s.
Another impulse of energy brings another opportunity for more widespread showers and possibly thunder on Wednesday, but again, no strong or severe thunderstorms are expected.
That pesky stationary boundary clears out as a cold front following Wednesday's energy impulse, and we should see sunshine by Thursday afternoon.
We'll be mainly dry through next weekend, although we need to keep an eye on next Saturday as a little "clipper" system could bring more clouds, gusty winds, and cooler temperatures, but at this point rain chances look minimal.
In the long range, temperatures are expected to average below normal, and precipitation below normal for Jun 1- Jun 7.
