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.

Delmarva enjoys one more day of record-setting warmth today, with inland highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and cooler readings near the water. Gusty south winds, higher humidity, and increasing clouds will build through the afternoon before a threat for a few strong to severe storms develops this evening, mainly between 6 and 10 p.m. A strong cold front moves through late tonight into Thursday morning, bringing falling temperatures, gusty northwest winds, and much colder air to end the week.
