Spring doesn’t officially begin for another 12 days, but temperatures in the First State this week will make it feel like it’s already here.
Temperatures will flirt with 70 degrees Tuesday up and down the First State with sunny skies. National Weather Service meteorologist Valerie Meola explains why.
“There’s a large surface high pressure system that’s sliding across the Mid-Atlantic and its going to move off the coast of the southeastern United States through midweek," said Meola. "As a result,the flow around the high will be coming more from the south-southwest and that’s going to bring a lo of warm are into our region.”
Meola adds temps in the mid-70s are possible as the week progresses.
“It looks like the warm temperatures last through at least Thursday, maybe into Friday. It looks like there is a cold front that may move through sometime on Friday. Timing is still an issue on that. Should it move through late in the day, it will get warm again Friday," said Meola.
She says temps should dip down closer to 60 degrees Saturday, but rebound into the mid 60s Sunday with a chance of showers in the forecast over the weekend.
