Good morning, Delmarva! We’re tracking an active weather day across the peninsula with storms and significant temperature changes ahead.
Today brings a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with the most intense activity expected between 1pm and 5pm. Some storms could turn severe with heavy downpours, so keep those umbrellas handy! We’re looking at a high of 69°F, but don’t let that fool you – gusty south winds will reach 15-20 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. Expect a quarter to half inch of rainfall.
The big story is tonight’s dramatic temperature drop! As storms continue this evening, temperatures will plummet to a chilly 32°F – that’s a 37-degree swing from today’s high.
Tuesday brings much better news with mostly sunny skies and a high of 43°F. Tuesday night stays mostly clear but cold at 25°F, so you’ll definitely want to protect any sensitive plants.
Stay weather-aware today, folks, and bundle up tonight! I’m tracking your complete seven-day outlook coming up at noon.
