Wilmington, DE — Delaware residents can expect gusty spring winds and a rollercoaster of temperatures this week, as Wilmington braces for midweek breezes and eyes a potentially rainy Easter Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will bring partly sunny skies with gusts reaching 35 mph. Commuters along I-95 should prepare for crosswinds and drive with caution, particularly during the afternoon hours when winds are strongest. These breezy conditions may also impact outdoor plans and loose objects like trash bins or patio furniture.
By Thursday, calmer weather takes over. Wilmington will see sunny skies and a high of 59°F, making it one of the driest days of the week. Friday continues the spring streak with a high of 68°F and partly sunny skies, ideal for early Easter weekend travel or outdoor preparation. However, by Saturday, a 40% chance of showers could disrupt late afternoon plans, and the rain risk lingers into Saturday night and Sunday.
