Good evening. Delaware. I'm Michael Nally.

That gray blanket overhead? It’s not just morning fog—it’s the opening act for a wild 24 hours. We’re sitting at 47 degrees under overcast skies right now, but don’t let that calm fool you. Tonight, a warm front sneaks in like a thief, sending temperatures *rising* overnight while showers and even a few rumbles of thunder roll through. By Sunday, we’re flirting with 70 degrees in some spots before a cold front slams the door shut. Classic Delaware: winter’s last gasp and spring’s first tease, all in one weekend.

Northern Delaware gets the first taste of drama tonight. Showers and thunderstorms fire up after 9 P.M., with temps *climbing* from 50 degrees at sunset to near 57 by dawn. Sunday brings a soggy high of 67 before the cold front sweeps in by afternoon, leaving behind clearing skies and a chilly 41 by Monday morning.

Central Delaware is where the action peaks. Thunderstorms—yes, in *March*—roll in just after midnight, with the best chance around 1 P.M. Sunday. You’ll wake up to 59 degrees—after a "low" of 53 that feels more like a high—then hit 68 by afternoon before the front resets things. Winds shift from a breezy southwest to a gusty west, perfect for blowing those storm clouds out to sea.

Down in Southern Delaware, the story’s similar but slightly tamer. A slight chance of rain showers overnight gives way to a *cooler* Sunday—highs only near 60, with thunderstorms likely by 2 P.M. The front’s impact here's milder, but don’t put away the umbrella just yet. By Sunday night, you’re back to 42 degrees under clearing skies.

Here’s what’s coming after the front. Sunshine returns Monday. And so does *real* spring warmth. Highs jump to 68, then *76* by Wednesday—31 degrees above normal for mid-March. Enjoy it, because Thursday brings a reality check. Another storm system barrels in, bringing showers and a *plunge* back to 31 degrees by Friday morning. We could even see a rain-snow mix overnight—because of *course* we’re not done with winter’s tricks yet.

Watch for dense fog near the coast tonight—visibilities could drop below a quarter-mile, so slow down if you’re out late. And keep an eye on the radar after noon Sunday if you’ve got outdoor plans.

We’re gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight every day now—sunrise at 6:27 A.M., sunset at 6:01 P.M. Spring’s coming, but not without a fight. Tonight’s warmth is a preview; Thursday’s chill is winter’s last stand.

See you tomorrow.
