Scorching heat continues early Wednesday in Sussex County, but a cold front is expected to bring relief, scattered storms, and cooler temperatures by Friday.

Unsettled conditions continue Sunday afternoon with continued clouds, cool temperatures, and scattered showers. A stalled front will keep the region damp through Tuesday before a warm front ushers in summerlike conditions midweek. Thursday brings a risk of severe storms followed by improving weather for the weekend.

Delmarva endured a cloudy and damp Saturday with a mix of showers and hazy skies due to wildfire smoke drifting from New Jersey. The pattern of unsettled weather is expected to continue into Father’s Day and early next week, with cooler-than-normal temperatures, patchy fog, and occasional rain. A brief warm-up midweek could bring strong storms before relief arrives next weekend.
