A cool and breezy Tuesday is ahead across Delmarva with afternoon highs in the mid 50s and northwest wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph. The combination of dry air and gusty winds will create an elevated risk for fire spread, though recent rainfall may help limit the overall threat. Colder air settles in tonight and lingers through Thursday morning, bringing freeze and frost concerns away from the immediate coast. After the chilly stretch, temperatures rebound quickly late week, with 70s returning by Friday and 80s possible early next week.

Expect clear skies and seasonable temperatures late Monday night, with a warming trend beginning on Tuesday as high pressure builds in.
