FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 57°F. Normal low: 36°F.
The stretch of gray, cloudy weather is now within measurable distance of its end!
But, we have a little more to get through.
A storm system is approaching from the west. As it does so, a warm front will cross Delmarva tonight, bringing mild temperatures and increased humidity, along with on-and-off showers. Areas of fog will also be possible after midnight with the increased humidity.
Saturday starts off with areas of fog and scattered showers before a cold front swings across the peninsula and sweeps all of that out to sea. We'll start to see some gradual clearing Saturday afternoon, and we might see some peeks of sun before sunset Saturday evening!
As drought conditions have expanded once again over Delmarva, this rain won't do much to alleviate the situation, as we're only expecting total rainfall of 0.1" to 0.25" at best.
High pressure builds in for Sunday and Monday, which will be partly to mostly sunny days with seasonable highs in the mid to upper 50s. Monday could be a little breezy at times.
Then another storm system approaches on Tuesday, bringing yet again another round of on-and-off showers late Tuesday into the early hours of Thanksgiving Day.
At this point, it looks like Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday will be dry, but quite breezy, if not downright windy.
In the long range, temperatures are expected to average below normal, and precipitation above normal for November 28 - December 4.
In the Tropics: There are no areas of development interest in the Atlantic Basin.
