Today is the start of the big heat across Delmarva as temperatures soar well above average for this time of year. It will be a sunny and hot day today with highs into the 90s and heat index values over 100+ possible into the afternoon hours. We do run the risk of a few showers and storms later this evening, but today’s threat for storms is solely based on when and where thunderstorms fire to our north and west. There isn’t a trigger to really get things going later today, so storms will need to bubble up along the spine of the mountains to our west. The other thing is that we are projecting these storms should arrive later in the evening hours when we lose the daytime heating. Granted, we have to assume that the atmosphere will still be primed for these storms and they could pack a punch with strong and gusty winds, heavy rain, and lots of lightning.
Highs on Friday will soar again well into the 90s with some folks to near 100 with heat index values approaching 105-108 during the day. We will pay for this big heat with showers and storms late on Friday with a front pushing across the region. Some of these storms on Friday will probably pack a pretty good punch with strong and gusty winds, heavy rain, and lots of lightning. The good news is that the front will clear us overnight Friday into early on Saturday and will lead us to a pretty good weekend overall.
The weekend forecast looks good to start with sunshine, but still hot with highs in the 90s for both Saturday and Sunday. Remember, the 90s offer is usually not valid at the beach at this point in the year. One quick change I will be making about the weekend forecast is that we are going to introduce chances for a few showers and storms during the late evening hours of Sunday. It looks like this front could trigger these storms, but will clear Delmarva early on Monday morning.
The forecast has also shifted into next week…the solid rain chance has decided that the ocean hasn’t received too much rain lately and so the rain chance has washed away to start the week. Another front arrives by Wednesday and Thursday with some chances for showers and storms.
