DELMARVA - It's been a gorgeous start to Father's Day weekend, with lots of sunshine and comfortable humidity levels. Temperatures this afternoon will reach seasonable levels, with mid 80s and comfortable humidity levels. It will be breezy at times with gusts of 20-25 mph at times.
Tonight will be clear and comfortable across Delmarva, with overnight lows settling into the low 60s. The lower humidity will make for a pleasant evening and a refreshing start to Sunday.
High pressure will remain in control for Father's Day, bringing a mostly sunny and comfortable day to the peninsula. Looking great for any outdoor plans. Expect mostly sunny skies, continued low humidity, and highs in the mid to upper 80s. Overnight will be mostly clear and quiet with lows in the 50s and 60s. Summer officially arrives Sunday morning at 4:24 AM, marking the official start to summer and longest day of the year.
Changes arrive early next week as a system moves into the region Monday into Monday night. Monday is currently looking wet for Delmarva, with widespread rainfall likely and some thunderstorms possible, especially during the afternoon and evening.
The exact track of the low-pressure system remains uncertain, and that will determine where the heaviest rain and strongest impacts set up. However, the atmosphere is expected to contain plenty of moisture, which could support periods of heavy rainfall. While ongoing drought conditions may help limit the overall flood threat, locally heavy downpours could still create issues in poor drainage areas.
The main takeaway for Delmarva is to enjoy the comfortable and sunny weekend, because a much wetter and more unsettled pattern is expected to return by Monday.
