Delaware – A dull gray ceiling hangs low over Wilmington as damp air settles across the riverfront and softens the early light. Pavement stays cool and slightly tacky, a hint that today’s building moisture will shape regional travel and spark attention for anyone planning early Thanksgiving trips. Light fog curls over open fields near Route 13, and winds remain calm for now.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, clouds expand through midday as warmer air climbs north. Highs push toward the upper 50s, but showers develop later and may slow traffic along I-95 and Kirkwood Highway. Residents should plan extra travel time this evening and secure outdoor décor before the breeze strengthens. Forecasters expect steadier showers during the late commute, although rainfall remains light enough to avoid widespread flooding.
Sunday brings a brighter change. According to meteorologists, highs reach the mid-50s with a gusty northwest wind up to 30 mph. The air turns brisk, and swirling leaves could affect visibility on rural roads west of the city. It’s a solid window for quick yard cleanup or early holiday errands before next week’s heavier travel demand arrives.
Monday stays cool and mostly sunny. According to NWS guidance, highs near 50 degrees mix with a steady west wind. While models show no snow chance through Monday, the colder push signals a broader November pattern that often leads to late-week Winter Tease setups. Several nights may flirt with freezing, an early sign that pre-Thanksgiving travelers should watch for rapid changes.
Tuesday looks partly sunny with a chill in the air. After all, this time of year often brings subtle swings that shape travel and shopping plans as the holiday week draws closer.
