Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz.
Step outside right now and that fog wrapping around your house? It's freezing fog. We're sitting at 27 degrees. and moisture from last week's snowmelt is meeting cold air off the Atlantic. Translation: black ice is coating the roads. Watch yourself before 8 A.M. but here's where it gets interesting. That fog burns off by mid-morning. and suddenly we're looking at a gorgeous February afternoon. Northern Delaware climbs to 55 degrees. Central Delaware hits 56. Down south near the beaches, that ocean breeze keeps you cooler at 47 degrees.
In the next 24 hours. Enjoy the warmth while you've got it. Because an arctic front crashes the party tonight. Fog rolls back in after 10 P.M. As temperatures drop to 36 degrees statewide.
Sunday flips the script completely. Low pressure rides that stalled front. and northern Delaware gets rain between 7 A.M. and 4 P.M. With highs only reaching 44 degrees. Central Delaware sees 47 with rain starting late morning. Southern Delaware stays drier at 45 degrees with just a slight chance.
Then comes the gut punch. Sunday night, temperatures crash into the low 20s. That's a 30-degree drop from this afternoon. Your thermometer might get whiplash.
Monday stays cold with highs only in the mid-30s. Tuesday and Wednesday bring another system with rain and possibly some wintry mix inland. but hang tight. A significant warm-up arrives late week. We could hit the mid-60s by Friday.
In Quick note, we're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Sunrise today is 6:38 A.M., sunset at 5:54 P.M. Spring equinox is just 20 days away.
That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
