FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 87°F / Normal low: 68°F
High pressure will remain in control on Thursday, bringing mostly sunny skies, warm and humid conditions, and highs near 90 degrees. A southwest breeze may gust up to 20 mph at times, but the chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm remains very low.
Friday and Saturday will feature a similar summer pattern with mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs around 91 degrees. Heat index values could climb as high as 101 on Friday, making it feel even hotter. As the high shifts slightly east, a few disturbances moving in from the northwest could trigger isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, with the best chances looking to be Friday evening and again Saturday afternoon into the evening.
Neither day will be a washout, though, with plenty of dry time and sunshine expected outside of any isolated storms.
By Sunday, high pressure builds back over Delmarva, bringing mostly sunny skies and dry conditions through at least Tuesday. Temperatures will remain hot and humid, with highs around 90 to 93 degrees. A few showers may return by the middle of next week, but widespread rainfall is not expected at this time.
In the Tropics: There are no areas of development interest at this time.
