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.Â
Sunday will bring another warm, humid day across Delmarva, with highs in the 80s and mostly dry skies. However, a cold front approaching Sunday night will trigger rounds of showers and thunderstorms through midweek, followed by more unsettled weather late in the week as another front arrives.
A stalled front lifting north will trigger rounds of thunderstorms across Delmarva starting Monday and lasting into Tuesday night. With temperatures climbing into the upper 80s to low 90s and abundant moisture, the atmosphere will become increasingly unstable. Forecast models point to a heightened risk of damaging wind gusts and localized flash flooding, especially Tuesday, when a Slight Risk for severe weather has been issued. Quieter and more pleasant weather is expected to settle in by midweek and continue through the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
From early Friday through early Sunday, Sussex County will experience waves of showers and possible thunderstorms with high humidity and a low-end flood threat.
A damp and stormy weekend as unsettled weather takes hold. A weak cold front and associated low pressure system will bring widespread showers and possible thunderstorms Saturday, followed by another round Sunday afternoon with the arrival of a warm front. The Storm Prediction Center places Delmarva under a Marginal Risk for severe weather Saturday, with damaging winds as the main concern. Intermittent clearing arrives Monday before a fresh round of storms hits Tuesday.
A cold front moving through Delmarva early Thursday morning will bring a significant cool down after today's heat, with scattered storms possible this evening. Cooler temperatures and lingering clouds are expected through Friday morning.
