Warm muggy Thursday, hot Friday with a late storm chance, staying unsettled into the start of the weekend.
By Friday, Delmarva turns hot and humid with highs in the low 90s. Skies will be partly sunny, but shower and thunderstorm chances return by the evening as a cold front approaches the region.
That front is expected to bring additional chances for showers and storms late this week into at least the first part of the weekend. While some stronger storms cannot be ruled out, the severe weather threat remains uncertain. Wind shear looks fairly strong, but the forcing may not be especially impressive and could focus more to the north of Delmarva, which may limit the overall severe potential. Since this setup is still a few days away, the forecast could still change.
At this point, showers and possible thunderstorms may linger into Saturday, keeping the first part of the weekend unsettled. Rain chances should begin to diminish by Sunday and into early next week.
Temperatures over the weekend will generally stay in the 80s. Looking ahead, there are signs that another stretch of hotter weather may develop next week, with temperatures possibly returning to the 90s as Delmarva rounds out the month of June.
