Tuesday Warmth

Warm temperatures returned today across Delmarva as highs soared into the 70s away from the water. A warm front came through last night allowing deep Southerly wind flow to develop across the mid-Atlantic. A little sunshine today helped out temperatures rise well above computer model predictions. A line of showers did develop from the Delaware Coast through Worcester, Wicomico, and Somerset counties producing some brief heavier downpours. Some locations may even have heard a rumble of thunder. Here are today's high temps:
Dover 71
Georgetown 75
Salisbury 74
Ocean City 66
Wallops Island 66
Melfa 73

But of course this time of year consists of highly variable weather so don't expect the 70s to continue. The weather pattern is high progressive right now so we will have frequent storm systems coming through every few days. So it is normal to have 70s one day and then 50s the next day. The 70s this time is really short lived as 50's return for Wednesday. A cold front will come through around midnight switching the winds to the Northwest and cooling us off. As I write this now, the front is still well to the West but it is moving Eastward. It is currently 71 in Washington D.C but 45 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Enjoy the mild night.
