FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 77°F. Normal low: 56°F.
A stationary frontal boundary has been responsible for the extended period of cloudy weather we've had on Delmarva since the middle of last week.
An impulse of energy traveling along that boundary will swing it through as a cold front Wednesday evening.
There is a warm, humid air mass over Delmarva, and this cold front will be able to tap into that energy and trigger some thunderstorms.
The Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been cancelled, but there could still be some non-severe storms.
Any storms will come with a threat for frequent lightning and heavy downpours. Watch for downed tree limbs and ponding of water on roadways if you have to be out and about Wednesday evening.

Thunderstorms will die down by late Wednesday evening, leaving the peninsula under mostly cloudy skies for the rest of the overnight.
Thursday will start off mostly cloudy, but as high pressure builds in, we'll see sunshine for the first time in quite a while by Thursday afternoon. The day will otherwise be pleasant, with warm highs in the low 80s and a gusty north breeze.
We'll have several days of mainly sunny skies and comfortable afternoon highs in the 70s Friday through the weekend.
A low pressure system passing to our northeast could swing a weak cold front across Delmarva late Monday into Tuesday, bringing a low chance for some showers.
In the long range, temperatures are expected to average above normal, and precipitation near normal for Jun 3 - Jun 9.
