Wilmington, Del. – After a wet Saturday, Delaware residents can finally look forward to brighter skies and rising temperatures as Sunday ushers in a stretch of classic spring weather across Wilmington and New Castle County. With rain and storms clearing out overnight, the region will wake to sunshine and highs near 66°F on Sunday—an ideal setup for outdoor plans or travel along I-95.
According to the National Weather Service, Wilmington’s weather will remain sunny and pleasant through midweek. Monday and Tuesday bring highs in the mid-70s to near 80°F, with breezy northwest winds but little chance of rain. These conditions create safer driving, easier commutes, and great opportunities for outdoor activities. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the dry weather by finishing yard work, preparing gardens, or checking air conditioning systems before Thursday’s shift.
While the start of the week stays calm, clouds increase Wednesday night as another system approaches. Rain returns Thursday and Thursday night, with a 60% chance of showers that could impact both morning and evening commutes, especially along major corridors like I-95 and Kirkwood Highway. Motorists should plan for slower travel and possible slick roads late in the week.
