Delaware — Headlights glow through thick fog near the Christina River at daybreak, and visibility drops along I-95 as damp February air settles over Wilmington. Temperatures sit near 35 degrees, cool enough to keep roads slick where moisture lingers.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, patchy fog will fade after 8 a.m., leaving mostly cloudy skies and a high near 48. Winds stay light from the southwest. While much of today remains dry, clouds thicken again tonight with lows near 36.
Rain chances increase Wednesday afternoon, climbing to 50 percent after 1 p.m. Highs reach 52, so precipitation falls as plain rain. Roads may turn wet for the evening commute. Keep extra distance between vehicles.
A brief lull follows Wednesday night. By Thursday, another system approaches. Rain chances rise to 30 percent during the afternoon with highs near 50. Conditions turn wetter Thursday night. Rain becomes likely, with a 60 percent chance and lows near 37. Periods of steady rainfall could produce minor ponding on poorly drained roads.
Friday looks soggy. Rain chances jump to 80 percent with highs near 48. Expect slick pavement during peak travel times.
Saturday trends partly sunny near 48. However, colder air edges in Saturday night. A 30 percent chance of rain and snow develops after 1 a.m., with lows near 32. A brief mix could create isolated icy spots before sunrise Sunday.
