Friday will bring a mix of sun and clouds to the region with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, but a high risk of rip currents will persist along the Delaware Beaches through Ocean City and Assateague Island. The dangerous surf, driven by onshore flow and a distant storm, is expected to continue into the weekend. High pressure will keep the area mainly dry and mild through Sunday, with lighter winds and slightly warmer temperatures Saturday. Sunday will be sunny and seasonable before heat and humidity build early next week, with widespread 90s and a chance for storms by midweek.

Delmarva will experience one more unseasonably warm day on Thursday, with temperatures soaring into the 70s before a cold front ushers in cooler, drier air by Thursday evening and into early Friday morning.
