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.
