Today on Delmarva, a powerful storm system will bring the risk of strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon into tonight, with damaging winds as the primary concern and an increasing threat for isolated tornadoes. Even outside of storms, southerly winds will gust from 35 to 45 mph, with some areas seeing gusts up to 50 mph. Heavy rainfall may lead to localized flash flooding, especially inland, while Sussex County faces minor coastal flooding along the back bays including Rehoboth Bay and Little Assawoman Bay. Conditions turn cooler and dry Tuesday through Wednesday before temperatures gradually moderate later in the week, with the next chance for showers arriving Friday night into Saturday.
