If you have been waiting for the arrival of summer, well look no further than the next couple of days. Highs will climb up into the 90s this afternoon to start the workweek with sunshine and the humidity will start to creep up across Delmarva. The wind will pick up a bit this afternoon and be a bit on the breezy side with just a few gusts to 25+ mph. Overnight temperatures will only fall back into the 60s and low 70s for tomorrow morning and we do need to see how the wind behaves this evening and tonight to see if we get a little fog to settle.
The Bermuda High locks up the weather for the next few days and will keep things on the toasty side as temperatures jump into the low and mid 90s. It may be even a touch hotter than we are forecasting because of the current drought we are experiencing on Delmarva. The hottest day of the week will be on Tuesday as we are forecasting a sunny day with very few clouds around the region.
We watch another front arrive with chances for showers and storms Wednesday and Thursday. Our optimistic view of next weekend is starting to waver a bit as the models suggest another area of low pressure will develop to our south and use the first front as train tracks to continue to bring rain shower chances into Friday and Saturday of the long holiday weekend.
The optimism is the idea that the front should push through late on Saturday and allow for a little drying for Sunday and Memorial Day Monday. At the moment, I am keeping a chance of a stray shower or storm on Sunday but trying to keep things quiet on Memorial Day. I will say this forecast is more than likely to change the next few days, so stay tuned as we fine tune the forecast.
