Strong winds and sharply colder air will sweep into Sussex County and the beach towns Tuesday, with dry but blustery conditions lasting into early Wednesday.

Delmarva enjoys one more day of record-setting warmth today, with inland highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and cooler readings near the water. Gusty south winds, higher humidity, and increasing clouds will build through the afternoon before a threat for a few strong to severe storms develops this evening, mainly between 6 and 10 p.m. A strong cold front moves through late tonight into Thursday morning, bringing falling temperatures, gusty northwest winds, and much colder air to end the week.

Delmarva stays quiet and seasonable today with upper 40s to low 50s, then warms quickly Saturday with inland highs near 60 (cooler at the beaches). An arctic front sweeps through late Saturday night, bringing a noticeably colder, breezy Sunday. Early next week, two separate systems could bring periods of wintry precipitation, followed by a likely transition to rain midweek. A bigger warm-up looks increasingly likely late next week.
