Delaware – Rain taps steadily on rooftops and windshields this morning, leaving roads slick across Wilmington and slowing traffic along I-95 and Route 202. Visibility drops at times, and wet pavement is already extending commute times across northern Delaware.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers will taper by late morning, with precipitation totals staying under a tenth of an inch. Clouds gradually break this afternoon, allowing temperatures to climb to 69°F as winds shift from south to west near 10 mph.
Conditions improve quickly into the afternoon with brighter skies developing across New Castle County, Newark, and nearby parts of southeastern Pennsylvania. Plan outdoor activities later in the day for the best conditions. Roads will remain damp, so allow extra stopping distance through midday.
Tonight turns quieter with partial clearing and lows near 51°F. By Thursday, a strong spring push arrives. Sunshine dominates, sending highs to 75°F across Wilmington, Chester, and along the I-95 corridor. Light northwest winds keep the air comfortable.
The pattern shifts again heading into Friday. A slight 20% chance of showers develops during the day, increasing to 50% Friday night. Expect another round of wet pavement for the evening commute.
The weekend trends wetter and cooler. Showers become likely Saturday, with a 70% chance and highs dropping to 52°F. Rain continues into Saturday night before easing Sunday, when highs rebound to 59°F with lingering clouds.
Drivers should stay alert late weekend into early mornings. Temperatures near the mid-40s combined with wet surfaces could create isolated slick spots if conditions briefly cool.
