Good morning. Delaware. I'm Aaron Jolly.

An arctic front just slammed through overnight. and you're feeling the aftermath. Step outside right now and you'll find 36 degrees with clearing skies. but that's as good as it gets today, folks.

In the next 24 hours. Northern Delaware caught a quick burst of rain between 7 and 10 A.M. Central Delaware saw a brief shower around 8 A.M. Southern Delaware mostly dodged it. Everyone tops out near 41 or 42 degrees this afternoon under mostly cloudy skies. Not exactly beach weather.

Tonight's where things get interesting. Skies clear out completely. and temperatures absolutely crater. Northern Delaware drops to 21 degrees. Central Delaware hits 23. Southern Delaware bottoms out at 26. North winds at 5 to 15 miles an hour will make it feel even colder. That's the kind of night where you want an extra blanket.

Monday brings a brief break — mostly sunny skies and highs around 36 or 37 degrees statewide. Enjoy the quiet while it lasts.

Tuesday morning's commute could get messy. A storm system rolls in overnight Monday with snow and freezing rain before flipping to plain rain. Keep an eye on that one.

Here's your week ahead. The real story is the warmup. By Thursday, temperatures surge into the 60s. Some spots could touch 70 degrees by Saturday. That's nearly 30 degrees warmer than today. Winter's making one last stand right now, but spring is waiting in the wings. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight daily. and the spring equinox is less than three weeks out.

This cold snap won't last, but it'll bite while it's here.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
