Delmarva will see a mild start today with highs reaching the upper 60s to near 70 and just a slight chance for a light shower. Warmer-than-normal weather continues Thursday with temperatures climbing into the low to mid 70s, but a backdoor cold front brings cooler conditions Friday. The biggest weather change arrives this weekend, when a developing low pressure system is expected to spread widespread rain across the region along with much chillier temperatures.

Today marks the third straight day of record-setting heat potential across Delmarva, with highs reaching the upper 80s to around 90 under partly cloudy skies. Dry air, gusty southwest winds, and ongoing drought conditions will also create an elevated fire weather risk. A weak front brings only slight cooling Friday, while a sharper cooldown arrives over the weekend with much-needed rain late Saturday night into Sunday. Early next week turns significantly cooler, with frost or even freeze conditions possible by Monday night into Tuesday morning before temperatures rebound by midweek.

Delmarva’s early taste of summer continues today as temperatures climb into the upper 80s to low 90s under mostly sunny skies. After Georgetown tied its record high of 87 yesterday, more record highs are possible today with southwest winds at 10 to 15 mph. The warmth holds through Thursday before a weak front slips through late Thursday night, followed by a cooler but still mild Friday and Saturday. A stronger cold front arrives Sunday with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible late, then much cooler air settles in early next week with highs dropping into the 50s and 60s and even a chance for frost by Tuesday morning.
