High pressure keeps Sussex County mostly dry early Monday before clouds and winds increase Monday night as a coastal system forms off the Carolinas.

Delmarva will enjoy a stretch of pleasant weather beginning Thursday night, with partly cloudy skies and comfortable lows ranging from the low to mid 60s inland to the upper 60s along the coast. Friday brings a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, but a high risk of rip currents remains in effect along the Delaware and Maryland beaches, including Ocean City and Assateague Island. The dangerous surf conditions will continue through the weekend due to persistent onshore flow and a storm system well out to sea. 

A developing coastal storm is bringing periods of rain and gusty winds to Delmarva beginning Wednesday afternoon, with temperatures stuck in the 50s. The unsettled pattern continues into Thursday before tapering into scattered showers Friday. A gradual clearing trend and slightly warmer weather is expected over the weekend, though cooler-than-average temperatures persist.
