On Monday evening, tornado warnings were issued for portions of northwestern Wicomico County and east-central Dorchester County and Sussex County.

Delmarva will feel more like summer today with warm, breezy conditions and highs in the low 80s inland, while coastal areas stay cooler in the upper 60s to mid 70s. Southwest gusts of 30 to 35 mph and low humidity will keep an elevated fire concern in place. Showers arrive Wednesday into Thursday, with the highest rainfall totals possible across southern Delmarva, followed by a pleasant Friday and a warm, sunny Mother’s Day.

A powerful storm system will bring heavy rain, strong winds, and the potential for isolated severe weather to parts of Delmarva this weekend. Rain arrives Saturday afternoon, with temperatures rising overnight into the 60s by Sunday morning. A strong cold front will bring another round of heavy rain and possible thunderstorms Sunday afternoon, with wind gusts up to 60 mph. A sharp drop in temperatures follows, with wind chills in the teens Monday morning. Arctic air will settle in for much of next week ahead of a possible coastal storm Wednesday into Thursday, which could bring accumulating snow to the region.
