Delmarva will enjoy a pleasant start to the week with seasonable temperatures, lower humidity, and mainly sunny to partly cloudy skies through Tuesday. Minor coastal flooding is expected again with Monday evening’s high tide along the Atlantic coast and Delaware Bay. Heat and humidity return by midweek, with a chance for severe thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and evening before a fantastic Father’s Day weekend settles in.

Sunny, mild and very dry weather is expected Tuesday across Sussex County, Delaware, and Ocean City, Maryland, before clouds increase early Wednesday ahead of the next rain system.

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.
