Delaware Weather 3/8 Morning - 31° Above Normal

Good morning. Delaware. I'm Michael Nally. Step outside right now and you can't see 20 feet in front of you. Dense fog has swallowed the state whole, dropping visibility to a quarter mile or less. If you're heading out before 7 A.M., slow it down and flip those headlights on. The fog lifts by mid-morning as warmer air pushes through. And warm it gets. Northern Delaware hits 70 degrees this afternoon — that's 31 degrees above normal for early March. Southern areas stay cooler near 61, but still mild. The catch? Rain moves in, especially south of I-Ninety-Five. Showers are likely between 7 A.M. and 5 P.M. Down south, with a a chance. Central Delaware sees rain through early afternoon. A cold front sweeps through tonight, bringing a slight chance for thunderstorms along the coast. Nothing severe, just a little rumble. Tonight, skies clear and temperatures drop to the low 40s statewide. West winds calm down to almost nothing. Monday brings sunshine and pleasant conditions. Highs reach the upper 60s in the north, while southern Delaware stays cooler near 52. It's a beautiful start to the week. The warming trend continues Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs climbing into the low 70s. Clouds increase Wednesday as a storm system approaches from the west. Thursday is the day to watch. A strong cold front barrels through, bringing widespread rain and gusty winds. Highs reach the low 60s, but temperatures crash behind the front. By Thursday night, lows plunge to the low 30s, with a chance for lingering rain or even snow showers as cold air rushes back in. Friday turns partly sunny with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s — a return to more seasonable March weather. One more thing — spring forward tonight. Clocks move ahead one hour for Daylight Saving Time. Set your alarms accordingly. See you this afternoon.
