Milder with some rain

As Kira mentioned, it has been very pleasant the last few days. A nice little taste of some spring weather. Temperatures look to warm up even more for Saturday and Sunday but there is a little rain in the forecast. As mentioned in the forecast since at least Monday, we have been talking about two fast moving disturbances to impact the region on Friday and Saturday nights. The first one looks to be the weaker of the two with the smaller chance for showers late Friday night. Some areas may even remain totally dry, as these showers look more scattered in nature. The next system looks more organized with wider rain coverage, giving us a higher chance for some rain showers Saturday night.

On the temperature side Friday and Saturday will remain above average with highs in the 60's. A warm front will move Northward tonight and depending how far North it goes will determine how warm we get. If enough sunshine develops on Friday highs will reach the upper 60s inland, especially around Salisbury. Far Northern area such as Dover, may only be near 60 with possible 50s if the front doesn't move far enough North. Basically, the farther South you are located from the warm front, the warmer your temperature will be, especially away from the water.
