A noticeable warming trend is expected to take hold across the Eastern United States, including the Delmarva region, as we head deeper into February.

According to the latest Climate Prediction Center outlook, the 6 to 10 day temperature forecast, valid February 16 through February 20, shows a strong signal for above normal temperatures across much of the eastern half of the country. Delmarva is firmly within that above-average zone, with higher confidence indicated by the deeper orange shading across the Mid-Atlantic.

The trend continues in the 8 to 14 day outlook, valid February 18 through February 24. While the intensity of the warmth slightly moderates compared to the earlier period, the overall pattern still favors temperatures running above seasonal averages across Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

What This Means for Delmarva

For mid to late February, average high temperatures across Delmarva typically range from the low to mid 40s. With this projected pattern, highs could frequently climb into the upper 40s and 50s, with occasional days potentially pushing even warmer if sunshine is present.

Overnight lows are also expected to trend milder than average, reducing the frequency of hard freezes and potentially limiting prolonged cold stretches.

Why the Warm Pattern?

The large-scale pattern depicted on the outlook maps shows persistent ridging across much of the central and eastern United States. This setup promotes milder air flowing northward and limits sustained Arctic air intrusions into the Mid-Atlantic region.

Meanwhile, colder-than-normal conditions are favored across parts of the western United States, reinforcing the overall east-west temperature contrast.
