Good morning. Delaware. I'm Aaron Jolly.
Step outside and you're wrapped in fog so thick you could cut it with a knife. We picked up nearly a tenth of an inch of rain overnight. And that murky, damp feel is sticking around.
Up in Wilmington, you're sitting at 39 degrees right now with fog cutting visibility to almost nothing. That fog clears by mid-afternoon, but clouds hang tough all day. High today reaches 49 degrees with a northeast breeze around 10 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 40 degrees with patchy fog creeping back in and light rain possible after 7 P.M. Dover starts at 41 degrees under that same blanket of fog. You'll hit 50 degrees today once the fog thins out by 4 P.M. Tonight settles at 40 degrees. And scattered light rain moves in between 10 P.M. and 3 A.M. Down along the coast in Rehoboth Beach, it's 38 degrees with thick fog blanketing the shoreline. Highs today only reach 44 degrees with a steady northeast wind at 10 to 15 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 39 degrees with fog persisting and light rain possible around midnight.
Now Looking at the week ahead. Saturday brings a brief warm-up with highs from 56 to 63 degrees statewide, but showers roll in Saturday night with a few thunderstorms possible. Sunday stays unsettled with rain showers likely and highs in the low to mid 60s.
Then the real warmth arrives. Monday turns mostly sunny with highs near 67 degrees. Tuesday climbs into the low 70s — well above average for early March. Wednesday stays warm near 71 degrees but brings a chance of showers as a cold front approaches.
Keep an umbrella handy this weekend. You'll need it.
See you tomorrow.
