Updates

Good morning everyone, as you see we have our breezy misty showers back into the region from the ghost of Ophelia. These showers will be off and on throughout the day but it could have been worse. Could be like NYC today expecting to see 4 to 6 inches of rain thanks to a trowal setup with significant flooding.

Waking up to a wet morning with either rain falling or drizzle and fog in your neighborhood. The chance of rain showers will continue for much of Friday with temperatures in the 60s and some low 70s. The wind will also pick up again, with wind gusts over 25-30+ mph possible.

Weather First at 4: Thursday Edition

As we approach closer to the winter months here on Delmarva, we are already looking at the signs ahead for what kind of winter could we have been looking at. The last several years we have been stuck in a La Nina pattern across the Pacific. (colder than normal water temperatures). But this winter we are getting a bigger change. We got a El Nino in place and a decent strength one too. Right now from the look of the data, we are currently in a moderate strength El Nino. Could go into the strong territory's during the winter but we shall see as we get closer to December. Snow lovers last year was extremely disappointed as we pretty much got a "sneeze" of snow which left many of us hungry. Well i have some better news for you based on the climate side of things. Delmarva usually fairs very well with El Nino winters in the snow department. Going back since the 1940s, the Delmarva region has seen many winters with above average snow. Even recently from 2010 and 2016. Not very cold winters at that but very snowy. All in all right now, snow lovers should be a bit happier this year. (granted anything was better than last year) A overall super cold winter i highly doubt. Probably end up slight above average for temperatures wise, precipitation should well above average too which leads to better snow chances.

Out with the dreary, in with the warmth! A ridge develops across the region beginning on Monday taking temperatures above average. Don't worry it's not going to be 90s again, in fact we will be near 80 with lower humidity. Anything is a improvement after this week of nothing but rain.

Rumors of a re-developing nor'easter from social media last weekend were a little too early to post... I hope you didn't cancel your plans to go to Oceans Calling. There may be a breeze and a little drizzle / showers Friday, but the forecast gets better over the weekend.

Hopefully you enjoyed the break you got from the drizzle and clouds yesterday because they come right back in for today. A gray and dreary afternoon is ahead with the chance of a few showers and windy with gusts 25-30+ mph possible. Highs into the 60s and a few low 70s.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to all these clouds, rain, and coastal flooding. Once we get into the second half of the weekend, and area of high pressure moves in and gives this low the boot. More sunshine heading into next week with warmer temperatures trying to reach near 80.

My friend... we have missed you so much 🤣

Meteorologist John Conway has a preview of your Wednesday forecast for Delmarva:

3 gauges in and around the Indian River Bay and Delaware Bay are in Moderate flood stage at this time and continuing to rise. Flooding is ongoing as the night falls. Pay very close attention to the roadways if you encounter flood waters. Flood waters are extremely difficult to spot at night.,
