Now
Through the rest of this evening scattered showers or thunderstorms are expected to occur across the region. The activity is expected to approach from two sides. A gust front over central New Jersey should sag south and continue to trigger precipitation. Meanwhile a larger area of showers and thunderstorms over Virginia will be moving northeast but in all likelihood should not arrive in the Delmarva region until close to midnight. Locally heavy downpours could drop an inch of rain in an hour and cause some poor drainage flooding.
