Delmarva is entering a prolonged stretch of hot and very humid weather that will continue through at least Tuesday. Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms will accompany the heat, with some storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts, torrential rainfall and localized flash flooding.

A stronger front could finally bring more noticeable relief by late Tuesday or Wednesday.
