WILMINGTON, Del. – A gray and damp start greets commuters this morning across northern Delaware, with light rain and mist softening headlights along I-95 and Route 13. Clouds will linger for several hours, but the atmosphere begins to shift later today as drier air pushes in from the west. Pavement could remain slick through midmorning, so drivers should allow extra time during the early commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, skies gradually clear through the afternoon, setting up a stretch of bright, mild weather through midweek. Tuesday and Wednesday will both feature sunshine, light winds, and highs in the lower 60s — ideal for outdoor errands, leaf cleanup, or early holiday decorating. A west breeze may gust to 15 mph Tuesday, keeping conditions crisp but comfortable.
By Thursday, temperatures cool slightly as a weaker front slides through the Mid-Atlantic. Highs drop back into the upper 50s with clear skies and cooler nights, hinting at a more typical November pattern returning late week. Friday remains pleasant, but forecasters are tracking a developing system that could bring rain back by the weekend — possibly the region’s next measurable rainfall ahead of Veterans Day events.
For now, Delawareans can enjoy several quiet, sunny days with no major weather threats. It’s an excellent window for travel and outdoor projects before the next seasonal chill arrives. After all, early November warmth rarely lasts long this far north of the Carolinas.
