DELMARVAÂ -- Labor Day will be a bit cooler for Delmarva, along with breezy conditions. Expect mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs in the mid 70s, with low 70s at the beaches.
A steady northeast wind between 10 and 20 mph will keep conditions comfortable. Beachgoers from Delaware to Ocean City and Assateague Island should note a moderate risk of rip currents, with waves running 2 to 4 feet.
Tonight we'll see mostly clear to partly cloudy skies with lows in the 50s, with 60s at the coast.
High pressure will dominate the region through Tuesday, Wednesday and into early Thursday, keeping conditions dry and pleasant. Daytime highs will top out in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees, while overnight lows fall into the 50s. Humidity will remain low early in the week with dew points in the 50s, though a shift to southerly winds by Wednesday night may allow for patchy fog or low clouds.
A change in the weather pattern arrives Thursday night through Friday as a pair of cold fronts move through.
