The National Weather Service Wakefield office issued a zone forecast for Maryland counties covering November 7 through 14, 2026. Daytime highs are expected around 60 degrees on Sunday, with a 40 percent chance of rain Thursday and a 50 percent chance of showers Friday.

Why it matters

The forecast gives residents of Maryland's Eastern Shore and nearby counties a week-long outlook for planning outdoor activities and travel. Midweek and Friday shower chances could affect commutes and Veterans Day events.

The zone forecast lists a 40 percent chance of rain Thursday and a 50 percent chance of showers Friday, with Monday gusts up to 30 mph in Inland Worcester and Somerset. Rainfall totals and the exact timing of the Friday system were not specified in the forecast.

The players

National Weather Service Wakefield Office

The Wakefield, Virginia office of the National Weather Service, a federal agency under NOAA, issues forecasts and warnings for the region that includes Maryland's Eastern Shore.

The details

Monday brings highs in the lower 60s with northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph. Highs on Tuesday and Veterans Day are forecast in the mid 60s in most zones, and Friday is expected to be breezy to windy in Dorchester and Somerset.

Sunday, November 8, 2026: Clear overnight and sunny with highs near 60 degrees.
Wednesday, November 11, 2026: Veterans Day forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid 60s.
Thursday, November 12, 2026: Afternoon showers possible, with a 40 percent chance in most zones.
Friday, November 13, 2026: 50 percent chance of showers and breezy to windy conditions, with lows in the lower 30s to mid 30s overnight.

Seasonal Patterns

The week's forecast of highs near 60 and overnight lows in the 30s and 40s on the Eastern Shore reflects typical mid-November transition weather for coastal Maryland. Its midweek rain chances follow a seasonal pattern of increasing autumn frontal activity that the National Weather Service tracks against historical averages.

Residents planning outdoor work or Veterans Day events should plan for mild temperatures early in the week and keep rain gear available for Thursday afternoon and Friday. Friday's breezy to windy conditions in Dorchester and Somerset may warrant securing loose outdoor items.

The takeaway

Checking the zone forecast each morning will help you adjust plans as the Thursday and Friday shower chances firm up. Keeping a rain jacket and layers handy covers both the mild afternoons and the cold Friday night.
