Wilmington, Delaware – Travelers hitting the road for Labor Day Weekend in Delaware can expect smooth driving conditions and plenty of sunshine through Monday. With no storms in sight, this is shaping up to be one of the driest and most pleasant holiday stretches of the summer.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, skies will stay mostly sunny across New Castle County and along I-95 through Labor Day. Highs will hover around the upper 70s to near 80°F, with cool, comfortable nights dipping into the mid-50s. Winds remain calm through Saturday, then shift slightly from the west Sunday into Monday, staying between 5 to 10 mph.
Wilmington residents planning barbecues, festivals, or outdoor events should take full advantage of Saturday and Sunday. Saturday will be crystal clear with a high of 76°F. Sunday pushes slightly warmer at 78°F, with just a few passing clouds. Labor Day on Monday looks equally solid, topping out near 80°F under mostly sunny skies.
