A pair of weak cold fronts will move through the Delmarva Peninsula today, bringing a shift in winds, slightly cooler temperatures, and the possibility of a few isolated showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first cold front moved through the region during the early morning hours as a weak area of low pressure tracked across the Mid-Atlantic. While no rainfall accompanied the front, residents may notice changing wind directions throughout the day. Winds that began from the south overnight will gradually shift to the southwest, northwest, and eventually north as the front exits the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention then turns to a second feature known as a back door cold front, which will slide southward through Delmarva this afternoon. Unlike a traditional cold front that approaches from the west, a back door front moves in from the northeast, allowing cooler marine air from the Atlantic Ocean to spread inland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The combination of increasing onshore flow and a weak disturbance in the middle levels of the atmosphere could be enough to trigger a few isolated light showers across portions of Delaware, Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and southern New Jersey. However, rainfall amounts are expected to remain minimal, with many locations receiving only a trace of precipitation. Any areas that do see measurable rain will likely receive no more than a few hundredths of an inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

East winds will increase to around 10 to 15 mph during the afternoon, with occasional gusts reaching 20 mph. Temperatures will remain seasonable for early June, with afternoon highs reaching the middle to upper 70s across much of Delmarva. Communities along the Delaware and Maryland beaches will remain cooler due to the onshore flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditions improve tonight as skies gradually clear behind the departing front. The cooler air mass will allow temperatures to fall into the 40s and lower 50s by daybreak Tuesday, providing a crisp and comfortable night across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While today’s weather will not be a washout, residents may encounter a brief passing shower this afternoon before drier and pleasant conditions return tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
