Delaware – Damp air and patchy fog are slowing drivers early, with low visibility lingering across Wilmington before a quick shift to brighter, warmer conditions by midday.
According to the National Weather Service, fog gradually lifts through the morning, giving way to partial sunshine and a high near 70°F. Light south winds increase slightly, helping improve visibility and drying out roadways across northern Delaware.
Across Wilmington, Newark, and along I-95, drivers may encounter reduced visibility early, especially near low-lying areas and bridges. Conditions improve steadily by late morning, with dry pavement expected through the afternoon commute. Keep headlights on early, and allow extra space during lingering fog.
Clouds begin to build later today, signaling a pattern shift. By Saturday, sunshine returns but with a cooler feel. Highs reach the mid-60s, while northwest winds gust up to 30 mph. Those crosswinds could impact travel on exposed stretches of I-95 and Route 202.
Sunday remains mild, with highs near 65°F under a mix of sun and clouds. Conditions stay stable through the day before cloud cover thickens again into the evening.
By Monday, a notable warm-up arrives. Highs push near 79°F, bringing a strong spring surge and increased outdoor activity across the region. Traffic could pick up as conditions turn more favorable.
Looking ahead, above-average warmth builds into next week, with temperatures climbing into the 80s by midweek. Additional updates are expected as the next system approaches.
