FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 85°F. Normal low: 65°F.
High pressure has brought another pleasant day for Tuesday on Delmarva.
The pleasant conditions will continue into a mostly clear Tuesday night with temperatures falling to the low to mid 60s.
Then as a frontal system approaches on Wednesday, winds will start to shift to a more southerly direction. This will increase both temperatures and humidity; highs will reach the mid to upper 80s with increasing clouds.
The frontal boundary will linger over the region for a few days. This will mean scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially Thursday afternoon and evening.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue into Friday, with the activity again reaching a peak in the afternoon and evening.
The front will start to depart on Saturday, although there could still be a few pop-up showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Then high pressure builds in again, making for a pleasant Sunday.
Mostly sunny skies and temperatures on the seasonable to seasonably warm side will take us into the next work week.
Temperatures during this period will be mainly seasonable, in the mid 80s.
In the long range, temperatures are expected to be near normal, and precipitation near normal for Sep 1- Sep 7.
