Delmarva will stay hot, sunny and dry today as southwest winds continue to push early-season heat into the region. Georgetown could approach or break a daily record high, while Delaware beaches will remain cooler but breezy. A Code Orange Air Quality Alert is in effect for Delaware today through Wednesday, and there is a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at Delaware beaches. One more very hot day is expected Wednesday before a cold front brings showers and thunderstorms, with isolated strong to severe storms possible. Cooler, unsettled weather is expected late week into Memorial Day weekend.

A brief period of dry, warm weather will give way to showers and a cold front moving through Sussex County late Friday, with elevated allergy levels and moderate air quality concerns persisting.
