Rainy and Mild Wednesday

Some interesting weather going on tonight. There was a Winter Weather Advisory for Northern Delaware and the Northern Upper MD shore earlier tonight for some sleet and freezing rain as temperatures were slightly below freezing for a few hours. As I am writing this at 10:30pm temperatures have risen to 54 in Salisbury but is still only 38 in Dover. Temperatures will keep on rising through the 50's overnight as a warm front moves through.

A cold front with a few areas of low pressure will track East on Wednesday. Plenty of Gulf of Mexico moisture is riding along the front and head towards the East Coast. Right now, models are showing the potential for around 1-2 inches of rainfall. The amounts will be determined where exactly the axis of heavy rain lines up along the front and where the areas of low pressure track. Highs on Wednesday will be mild in the mid to upper 50's. The rain looks to taper off during the evening hours.

Cold air returns behind the front for Wednesday night along with the passage of the upper-level portion of the system. As the upper level-trough moves through Wednesday night, it could be strong enough to develop a period of wet snow with some light accumulation possible, especially on grass and car tops after midnight, if enough cold air pushes in behind the front. This will have to be watched through the day on Wednesday.

Have a good night!
