Starting Saturday, high pressure will usher in increasingly hot and humid weather across Delmarva. While Saturday remains manageable with highs near 90 and dewpoints in the mid-60s, the real danger sets in by Sunday with heat indices nearing triple digits. You should prepare for heat advisories and take safety precautions through at least Wednesday.

Sussex County will enjoy a brief reprieve from the heat Friday night into Saturday, but steamy conditions and dangerous heat index values are expected to return by Sunday and continue into early next week.

A weekend of improving weather conditions, today brings partly cloudy and slightly milder temperatures. However, gusty northwest winds will keep things feeling brisk. A dry stretch will persist from Saturday night through early next week, with mild highs in the mid-to-upper 50s and seasonably cool nights. A cold front midweek will introduce cooler air by Wednesday, with the possibility of rain later in the week.
