Severe weather in the Midwest, what does that mean for Delmarva?

We had beautiful weather in Salisbury today! Hopefully you were able to head out to the Salisbury Festival and enjoy the warm temperatures. I know some people thought it was even a little too warm! If you agree that it was too warm, you'll be happy to see the low to mid 60s returning Sunday. We did have one storm pop up in the afternoon that sent a few people running for cover, but since that storm, rain hasn't been a threat.

Showers and storms will be possible overnight Saturday into Sunday. There will be spotty showers across Delmarva on Sunday, but I don't think they will be enough to ruin your day out at the Salisbury Festival if you plan on attending. As mentioned above, temperatures will be a little cooler.

A strong cold front will push through Monday and that system will bring the better chance for widespread rain and some storms (and more cool weather.) In fact, right now we are in the slight risk for severe thunderstorms Monday into Tuesday.


Let's go back in time and talk about this system we will see Monday, because it's amazing to compare the weather this system has brought to other parts of the country.

On Thursday, this system was bringing severe weather to the Midwest. Between Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, a total of 10 tornadoes were reported, as shown in the image below. The day before, the Midwest also experienced 16 tornadoes between Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska.

As this storm progressed, more severe weather arrived in other locations. On Friday, 9 tornadoes were associated with this system between Iowa, Wisconsin and Texas.

The severe weather today was not as impressive, probably a good thing for Delmarva! You can see on the graphic below, mainly hail and wind reports.
