It's another clear, cool, and dry morning across Delmarva, and today will be just a bit warmer than yesterday with sunshine and dry air across the area. High pressure to our NW will give us a light NW wind all day. Skies will stay clear tonight, but a light south wind will develop and it will not be as cool tonight with a low near 54º by daybreak.
Sunday will start clear, but we will see some scattered clouds by afternoon with a SW wind increasing ahead of a cold front. It will be warmer and a little more humid by afternoon with temperatures near 80 degrees by 3 PM. Winds will increase to 14-20 mph on the coast with temps. near 77º on the beaches.
Clouds will increase Sunday night as a cold front passes, and a brief shower is possible between 10 PM and 2 AM. Winds will turn to the west at 7-15 mph after Midnight, as the cold front passes.
