Plenty of sunshine and winds ending up being in a more Westerly component lead to well above average highs today. Widespread 70s and even some 80s broke out today across the shore. Typically this time of year, South to Southwest winds bring the warm temperatures to the shore, but the immediate coast stays cooler because of the Southerly flow over the cool ocean water. Today was different, the hot spot today was Ocean City topping off at 82 degrees. This was because the winds west West so there was no influence of cool water, nothing but land to warm up the air.
It is March so you can't expect temperatures this warm to continue for days. A cold front moved through this evening ending the warmth. There were some showers with the front but many locations only received a trace. The heaviest rain looked to come through Sussex County Delaware. Temperatures will fall back into the 30s tonight and rebound to the low 50s tomorrow. Even though air temps will be cool, there will be lots of sun and the late march sun is strong and it will make it feel warmer. Also remember if you are working outdoors, you can get a sunburn this time of year. On Sunday, expect highs a few degrees cooler in the 40s due to more clouds and Easterly winds off the cold Atlantic. Have a great weekend!
