HIGH risk of rip currents down the Delmarva coast, waves 2 to 5 feet, remember to always swim and obey lifeguards.
Tonight, skies remain mostly clear as temperatures fall back into the low to mid 50s.
A far offshore low has been monitored for the middle of the week, but high pressure remains in control across Delmarva. That means dry weather is expected to continue through the end of the week. While low pressure may develop well off the coast, the system is expected to stay far enough away to keep most, if not all, of Delmarva dry.
Staying bone dry through the weekend, next chance for showers/storms doesn't come until Sunday.
By Wednesday, temperatures warm into the upper 70s to low 80s. Coastal areas may stay slightly cooler if northeast flow lingers, but the overall pattern remains quiet and dry.
Warming conditions continue late week as high pressure shifts southeast, allowing a much warmer air mass to build into Delmarva. By Friday and Saturday, afternoon highs could climb back into the low 90s for some inland communities.
There is a chance for some precipitation by the weekend, but confidence remains low at this time. For now, the main theme across Delmarva is sunshine, dry weather, and a warming trend through the rest of the week.
