An arctic cold front crossed Delmarva today, ushering in cold air for New Year Eve night and New Year's Day. Windy conditions also developed behind the front, as low pressure deepened off the New England coast today. Wind gusts ranged from the 50s to 60 across Delmarva today cause some power outages. The Salisbury Airport recorded a 62 mph wind gust this afternoon. High wind warnings were also in effect throughout the day as well.
Wind chills will become the main factor for New Year's Eve night. Even though the winds will be diminishing overnight, wind chills will be in the teens and eventually single digits early Thursday morning. High pressure then moves over the mid-Atlantic on New Year's Day causing less windy conditions but daytime highs will top out in the 30s. There should still be enough wind on New Year’s to bring wind chills down into the 20s during the day. Not good news for the brave people taking part in the AGH Penguin Swim in Ocean City.
Temperatures moderate some heading into the weekend with highs in the low to mid 40s. earlier this week it looked like we had a decent chance for showers on Friday but now that has diminished greatly. A spotty rain shower is possible Friday afternoon at best and then again on Sunday. Happy New Year and stay safe!
