Delaware Weather 3/7 Morning - Foggy Start, Sunny Day!

Good morning. Delaware. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you’ll feel that damp, clingy air—42 degrees with fog thick enough to blur the tree line. Classic early March in Delaware, where winter and spring still can’t decide who’s in charge. But here’s the twist: the fog clears by noon. And then we’re off to the races with a wild temperature rollercoaster. Up in Wilmington and Newark, you start chilly at 52 degrees today, but that’s just the opening act. Overnight, temperatures actually rise—yes, rise—to near 60 by dawn Sunday as a warm front surges in. Rain showers arrive by 8 P.M., peaking around 4 A.M. With a likely chance. By Sunday afternoon? You're hitting a balmy 68 under gusty west winds. Then the cold front sweeps through, dropping temps back to 41 by Monday morning. Central Delaware gets a milder version of the same story. Dover and Smyrna hit 57 today with a slight rain chance, then warm overnight to 55 before climbing to 70 on Sunday. But those gusts—up to 25 miles an hour—will make the rain showers feel sharper. By Sunday night, you’ll need a jacket again as temps plummet to 43. Down in Lewes and Rehoboth, it’s a different flavor. You start cooler at 50 degrees today, but the real drama comes Sunday: thunderstorms possible by afternoon, with a likely chance of rain. Highs only reach 61—cooler than the north—thanks to those ocean breezes. Then, like clockwork, the front passes. And temps drop to 43 overnight. This is classic Delaware—three different weather worlds in one state. But here’s the kicker: after this weekend’s chaos, we’re looking at summer-like warmth by midweek. Highs near 75 on Tuesday, then a crash back to reality with rain and 50s by Friday. If your weekend plans involve being outside, keep that umbrella within arm's reach. You'll need it. See you this afternoon.
