Delaware – A damp breeze is sweeping through Wilmington right now, pushing low clouds across the skyline and leaving roads slick along I-95 and Route 13. At 57°F, the air feels mild but unsettled, with steady gusts adding to the messy midday commute.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers are tapering off through the afternoon, but northeast winds are still gusting up to 23 mph. Cloud cover lingers, and brief drizzle may still develop in spots.
Across New Castle County, drivers are dealing with wet pavement and occasional wind gusts that can shift vehicles on exposed roadways and bridges. Expect slower travel through early afternoon, especially on elevated stretches.
Conditions begin to settle later today, with clouds gradually thinning into the evening. A much warmer pattern quickly builds in.
By Friday, temperatures surge to near 79°F with partly sunny skies, delivering a strong spring-to-summer transition. That warmth peaks Saturday, with highs climbing into the low 80s. Outdoor plans should fare well for much of the day, though a slight shower chance develops late.
The pattern turns active again by Sunday. Widespread showers move in after sunrise, with a 90% chance of rain likely to disrupt travel and outdoor plans across Wilmington and surrounding areas. Roads may become slick again, and visibility could drop during heavier bursts.
Cooler, drier air returns early next week, bringing sunshine and highs back into the 50s.
