President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend a solemn ceremony at Dover Air Force Base this Saturday, where he will honor six American soldiers who lost their lives in Middle East combat operations.
The ceremony, known as a dignified transfer, represents one of the most profound responsibilities any president must fulfill. Trump previously described witnessing these transfers as “the toughest thing I have to do” during his presidency.
Taking to his social media platform Friday evening, Trump announced: “I will be going to Dover Air Force Base tomorrow, with the First Lady and Members of my Cabinet, to pay our Highest Respect to our Great Warriors, who are returning home for the last time. GOD BLESS THEM ALL!”
The fallen service members include Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, from White Bear Lake, Minnesota; Capt. Cody Khork, 35, from Winter Haven, Florida; Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54, from Sacramento, California; Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, from Indianola, Iowa; Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42, from Bellevue, Nebraska; and Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, from West Des Moines, Iowa, who received a posthumous promotion from specialist.
All six Army Reserve members served with the 103rd Sustainment Command headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, a unit responsible for delivering essential supplies including food, fuel, water, ammunition, and transportation equipment. Their deaths resulted from a drone attack on a command facility in Kuwait, occurring just 24 hours after U.S. and Israeli forces began their military offensive against Iran.
Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst, who has combat experience, honored the fallen soldiers after their identities were released, stating: “These soldiers engaged in the most noble mission: protecting their fellow Americans and keeping our homeland secure. Our nation owes them an incredible debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.”
The ceremonial process involves flag-draped transfer cases containing the soldiers’ remains being moved from the transport aircraft to vehicles that will carry them to the base’s mortuary facility. There, the service members receive final preparation for burial.
Joey Amor, Nicole’s husband, revealed earlier this week that his wife was expected to return home to their family and two children in just a few days.
“You don’t go to Kuwait thinking something’s going to happen, and for her to be one of the first – it hurts,” Joey Amor expressed.
Major O’Brien dedicated nearly 15 years to Army Reserve service, his LinkedIn profile shows. His aunt remembered him on Facebook as “the sweetest blue-eyed, blonde farm kid you’d ever know. He is so missed already.”
Robert Marzan’s sister paid tribute to him on Facebook, calling him a “strong leader” and devoted family man.
“My baby brother, you are loved and I will hold onto all our memories and cherish them always in my heart,” Elizabeth Marzan posted.
Despite being among the youngest in his training class, Declan Coady excelled at military computer system troubleshooting and made a strong impression on his instructors, according to his father Andrew Coady, who spoke with The Associated Press.
“He trained hard, he worked hard, his physical fitness was important to him. He loved being a soldier,” Coady explained. “He was also one of the most kindest people you would ever meet, and he would do anything and everything for anyone.”
Cody Khork’s relatives remembered him as “the life of the party” with an “infectious spirit” and “generous heart,” noting his childhood dream of military service.
“That commitment helped shape the course of his life and reflected the deep sense of duty that was always at the core of who he was,” his parents Donna Burhans, James Khork, and stepmother Stacey Khork said in their statement.
Noah Tietjens carried on his family’s military tradition, having previously deployed to Kuwait alongside his father. His February 2010 homecoming featured an emotional reunion with his wife at a local church gymnasium.
Tietjens’ cousin Kaylyn Golike requested prayers for his surviving family members, including his 12-year-old son, wife, and parents as they cope with this “unimaginable loss.”
Trump’s most recent Dover visit occurred in December, when he paid respects to two Iowa National Guard members and a U.S. civilian interpreter killed in a Syrian desert ambush. His first presidential term included multiple dignified transfer ceremonies, honoring fallen service members from various conflicts including a Navy SEAL from a Yemen operation, Army officers who died in an Afghanistan helicopter crash, and soldiers killed by an attacker wearing an Afghan army uniform.

Good news for morning commuters across the Delmarva Peninsula – the National Weather Service has cancelled the Dense Fog Advisory that was affecting the region earlier today.
The advisory, which was lifted at 5:15 AM, had been impacting visibility across much of southern Delaware, including Sussex County inland areas and Delaware’s beaches. The fog also affected portions of southern New Jersey, including areas of Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
While the official advisory has been cancelled, drivers should remain cautious as patchy fog may still linger in some areas during the morning hours. Weather officials recommend maintaining safe following distances, using low-beam headlights, and reducing speed if visibility remains limited.
The fog developed overnight as warm, moist air moved over cooler surfaces, creating the perfect conditions for dense fog formation. As temperatures rise and winds increase throughout the morning, any remaining fog should continue to dissipate.
Commuters heading out for the morning drive can expect improving conditions, but should still exercise caution, especially in low-lying areas where fog tends to linger longer. The advisory officially expired at 5:30 AM, and no further fog advisories are expected for the immediate future.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the day.
Good morning, Delmarva! We’re starting this Thursday with a soggy and foggy situation across the peninsula. Light rain is likely through the early morning hours before tapering off around 7am, but don’t put that umbrella away just yet – we’ll still have a chance of scattered showers throughout the day.
The big story today will be widespread fog developing as temperatures climb to a mild 57 degrees. Visibility could be significantly reduced during your morning and afternoon commutes, so please drive with extra caution and use those headlights. With cloudy skies and an east wind of 5 to 10 mph, it’s going to feel quite damp out there.
Tonight, that fog will stick around before more light rain moves in, with temperatures dropping to a chilly 42 degrees. Looking ahead to Friday, we’ll see some lingering fog to start, but conditions improve to mostly cloudy skies with highs around 50. However, another chance of rain showers returns Friday night.
Stay safe on those foggy roads today, Delmarva, and have a wonderful Thursday!

Deadly tornadoes swept across southern Michigan on Friday, claiming four lives and leaving more than a dozen people injured as the violent storms demolished homes and knocked out electricity for hundreds of residents, according to local officials.
Social media videos appearing to show the aftermath in Three Rivers and Union City captured massive funnel clouds ripping rooftops from structures and hurling debris skyward, shortly after the National Weather Service had issued tornado warnings for the region.
News footage revealed the destruction left behind: demolished buildings and vehicles, along with downed utility poles, fallen trees, and toppled road signs scattered across the landscape.
Branch County, home to Union City, reported three deaths and a dozen people wounded, the sheriff’s department confirmed.
Cass County authorities reported one additional fatality and several more injuries in their jurisdiction.
According to an official Cass County statement, “Multiple large structures – including homes and pole barns – sustained damage ranging from major structural impacts to complete destruction.”
Hundreds of residents remained without electricity following the storms, local officials reported.
An official Facebook post from Union City detailed the extensive damage: “We have multiple utility poles down, transformers damaged, and long stretches of power lines on the ground. The north side of Union Lake sustained some of the most severe damage, with roughly two miles of line brought down in that area alone.” The post warned that power restoration could take several days.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer responded by activating the State Emergency Operations Center to monitor the developing situation.
Clayton Cummins, a spokesperson for Michigan emergency services and police, told reporters: “The state is ready to fulfill any resource requests that may arise. We’ve yet to receive any just yet. It’s sounding like the local response is and has been able to address what’s been a very devastating afternoon and evening in southwest Michigan.”

Spring weather across the Mid Atlantic can be notoriously difficult to forecast, and one of the biggest reasons is the frequent appearance of backdoor cold fronts. These unique weather boundaries often bring sudden temperature changes, shifting winds, and coastal clouds that can dramatically alter the forecast across the Delmarva Peninsula.
What Is a Backdoor Cold Front?
A backdoor cold front is a type of cold front that moves in from the northeast rather than from the west or northwest, which is the typical direction for most cold fronts in the United States.
Instead of sweeping across the region from the interior of the country, these fronts originate over New England or the North Atlantic and slide southwestward down the coastline. As the front moves through the Mid Atlantic, cooler air from the ocean and coastal regions pushes inland, replacing warmer air that had previously moved northward.
This process often results in rapid temperature drops, especially near the coast. It is not uncommon for areas along the Delmarva coast to see temperatures fall 10 to 20 degrees within a few hours after a backdoor front moves through.
Why Backdoor Fronts Are Common in the Spring
Backdoor cold fronts become especially common during the spring months across the Mid Atlantic because of the strong temperature contrast between land and water.
During spring, the land across the Mid Atlantic warms quickly as the sun angle increases. However, the Atlantic Ocean and nearby bays remain much colder after the winter months. This temperature difference creates the perfect setup for cooler marine air to surge inland.
At the same time, strong high pressure systems often build over eastern Canada or New England during the spring. These high pressure systems drive cooler air southwestward along the coastline, pushing the front toward areas such as New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
Because the cooler air mass travels over cold ocean water, it is typically moist and stable, which often leads to low clouds, fog, and occasionally drizzle behind the front.
A Major Forecast Challenge for Delmarva
Backdoor cold fronts are particularly challenging to forecast for the Delmarva Peninsula because of the region’s geography. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Delaware Bay, and Chesapeake Bay, the peninsula sits in a location where marine air can easily influence temperatures.
One of the biggest forecasting difficulties is determining how far inland the cooler air will push. Sometimes the front stalls near the coast, leaving inland communities much warmer. Other times it surges rapidly across the peninsula, causing temperatures to fall dramatically.
For example, on some spring days it may be near 70 degrees in western Maryland while coastal Delaware remains stuck in the 40s or 50s under cloudy skies and northeast winds.
Another challenge is that these fronts often stall and move back and forth across the region. Small shifts in wind direction or pressure patterns can cause the boundary to drift north or south, which can quickly change temperatures, cloud cover, and precipitation chances.
The Role of the Ocean and Sea Breezes
The cold Atlantic waters also enhance the effects of backdoor fronts across Delmarva. Even after the front passes, persistent onshore winds and sea breezes can keep coastal communities significantly cooler than inland areas.
This marine influence is why coastal locations such as Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City, and Cape Henlopen often experience cooler temperatures and fog while inland areas like Georgetown, Salisbury, or Dover remain warmer.
A Defining Feature of Mid Atlantic Spring Weather
Backdoor cold fronts are one of the defining characteristics of spring weather across the Mid Atlantic. Their ability to dramatically change temperatures over short distances makes them a constant challenge for meteorologists and a frequent source of forecast uncertainty.
For residents across Delmarva, these fronts are the reason why spring forecasts can shift quickly from warm and sunny to cool, cloudy, and foggy within just a few hours.

Residents across the Delmarva Peninsula will need to adjust their clocks this weekend as Daylight Saving Time begins early Sunday morning, March 8.
At 2:00 a.m. Sunday, clocks will move forward one hour to 3:00 a.m., meaning most people will lose an hour of sleep but gain more daylight during the evening hours.
Daylight Saving Time is observed across most of the United States and is designed to make better use of daylight during the longer days of spring and summer. By shifting the clock forward, sunsets occur later in the evening, providing extended daylight for outdoor activities, travel, and commerce.
For the Delmarva region, the change will be noticeable immediately. Sunset times will move from the 6:00 p.m. hour to the 7:00 p.m. hour, with daylight hours continuing to increase as spring approaches.
While many smartphones and digital devices update automatically, officials recommend checking manual clocks, appliances, and vehicles before heading to bed Saturday night.
Safety officials also suggest using the time change as a reminder to check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms, replace batteries if needed, and review emergency preparedness plans.
Daylight Saving Time will remain in effect until Sunday, November 1, when clocks will fall back one hour as Standard Time returns.
Although the time change has been debated in recent years, no federal changes have yet been implemented, meaning Americans will continue the long-standing tradition of “springing forward” each March.

Tragically, a 47-year-old mother and her 13-year-old daughter from Fairview lost their lives when their car was involved in a collision at a highway and county road intersection around 10 p.m. Thursday, officials reported. According to Oklahoma Highway Patrol representative Sarah Stewart, the fatal accident “appears to be tornado related.”
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt issued a statement Friday expressing his condolences: “Severe weather struck Major County last night and tragically claimed the lives of a mother and daughter. I am praying for the family as they grieve this tragic loss, as well as all those impacted by the storms.”
Weather service officials from Norman, Oklahoma, announced plans to dispatch assessment teams Friday to determine whether Thursday’s storms produced confirmed tornadoes. “As of right now, we’re still investigating that,” explained meteorologist Ryan Bunker.
Friday’s weather conditions could prove even more dangerous, with over 7 million Americans facing the most severe weather threat in regions encompassing Kansas City, Missouri; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Omaha, Nebraska, based on Storm Prediction Center forecasts. An additional 25 million residents face moderate risk levels across areas including Dallas, Oklahoma City, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The National Weather Service predicted scattered severe thunderstorms would develop Friday afternoon and evening, stretching from Plains states through the Ozarks and into Midwest regions.
“The greatest potential for a few strong tornadoes and very large hail should exist across eastern portions of Oklahoma/Kansas/Nebraska into western Arkansas/Missouri and southern Iowa,” forecasters stated.
AccuWeather meteorologists explained that the dangerous weather pattern results from warm Gulf Coast air masses colliding with cold Canadian air systems moving behind frontal boundaries.
“This is probably our first real event this season where people are really starting to pay attention getting into the spring storm season,” noted Melissa Mayes, who serves as deputy director for Washington County Emergency Management Agency in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, located north of Tulsa.
These spring weather systems arrive as tornado season typically begins across various regions of the United States at different times. Safety experts advise residents to prepare by obtaining weather radios and establishing shelter plans before severe weather strikes.
Separately, northeastern states faced winter weather advisories as a mixture of rain, snow, and slush created hazardous morning travel conditions from Pennsylvania through Maine on Friday. Multiple vehicle accidents occurred on the Maine Turnpike as drivers navigated sleet and snow conditions.
Educational institutions in New Hampshire and Maine either cancelled classes or implemented delayed start times.
Weather conditions began improving by mid-morning in some locations, though Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut maintained active weather advisories. Southern Ohio received flood warnings.
Across southern United States regions, the same weather system is expected to generate unusually high temperatures for this time of year by weekend.
“Temperatures will be 20-30 degrees above average, with 80s reaching as far north as parts of the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic,” federal meteorologists wrote in extended forecast discussions. “Daily records could become widespread.”
WILMINGTON, Del. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection has informed a federal court that it lacks the capability to process tariff refunds that were ordered following a Supreme Court decision declaring certain tariffs unlawful.
The customs agency made this declaration in documents submitted Friday to the U.S. Court for International Trade, stating it cannot fulfill the court’s directive to return the disputed tariff payments.
The filing comes after the nation’s highest court previously determined that the tariffs in question were imposed illegally, leading to the court order requiring their return to affected parties.
Drivers in New Castle County should prepare for significant traffic disruptions this week as the Delaware Department of Transportation implements several road closures at the Interstate 95 and Route 896 interchange.
DelDOT officials have scheduled daytime lane restrictions on northbound Interstate 95 to accommodate truck access from Monday through Thursday. Additionally, crews will conduct overnight bridge work on Sunday that will require closing multiple lanes on northbound I-95.
Sunday night will also bring rolling roadblocks affecting the northbound State Route 896 on-ramp that connects to northbound Interstate 95, as workers continue bridge maintenance projects. Motorists can also expect daytime lane restrictions on southbound Route 896 on Sunday for sidewalk construction activities.
The transportation department advises drivers to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time during the affected periods.
Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources has announced it will accept applications for nature-based shoreline restoration initiatives across three Eastern Shore counties.
The agency has issued a formal Request for Proposals seeking construction, design/build, and design submissions for living shoreline restoration work. Approximately $17 million in funding has been allocated for these environmental protection efforts. Applications will be accepted through April 6, 2026 and can be found on the Roots for Resilience: Open Solicitations webpage, which also contains detailed instructions and eligibility criteria.
Projects under consideration must be situated within Wicomico, Somerset, or Dorchester counties and must safeguard significant adjacent wetland areas. The agency’s goal is to fund large-scale restoration efforts that will collectively preserve 400 acres of high-quality tidal marsh habitat.
Priority will be given to public land initiatives that protect substantial marsh areas, with multiple project awards anticipated. While the minimum funding threshold is set at $1 million, smaller design-only proposals may receive consideration with department approval. Although matching funds are not mandatory, additional leveraged funding is welcomed.
Living shoreline techniques employ natural erosion prevention methods, including marsh vegetation, coir logs, sills, and breakwaters, to stabilize coastlines while preserving natural coastal dynamics. These methods help minimize erosion and flooding, safeguard infrastructure, reduce long-term expenses, support maritime industries, and enhance coastal resilience.
Those interested in applying should reach out to Ari Engelberg ([email protected]) for RFP details, to discuss potential project concepts, and to arrange site evaluations.
The initiative receives funding through a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which was awarded to the Atlantic Conservation Coalition, a partnership of four coastal states that includes the Maryland Department of the Environment.
A significant warm up is expected across the Delmarva Peninsula late this weekend and into the first half of next week, with temperatures climbing well above seasonal averages. Along with the warmer air, periods of showers and the potential for dense fog may also develop, especially near the coast.
The transition begins Saturday night as an upper level disturbance tracks well to the north of the region. A weakening cold front trailing from this system is expected to move through the Mid Atlantic, bringing the chance for scattered showers and possibly a thunderstorm Saturday night into early Sunday. While the system will provide some lift in the atmosphere, meteorologists say the forcing may weaken as it moves eastward, which could limit how widespread the rainfall becomes.
Temperatures on Saturday may remain somewhat cooler during the daytime hours due to lingering colder air near the surface. However, warmer air moving into the region ahead of the weakening front will gradually erode that colder air mass from south to north. Because of this, temperatures may actually peak Saturday evening rather than during the afternoon.
By Sunday and Monday, the region will become fully embedded in a much warmer air mass. High pressure anchored over the western Atlantic will establish a steady south to southwest flow, allowing significantly warmer air to surge into the Mid Atlantic.
High temperatures are expected to climb into the 60s across much of Delmarva Sunday and Monday. The warmth intensifies further by Tuesday and Wednesday, when many areas could see highs reach the low to mid 70s.
However, coastal communities may experience some cooling due to the influence of the chilly Atlantic Ocean. Light southerly winds could allow a sea breeze to develop, especially during the afternoon hours, bringing cooler temperatures inland near the Delaware and Maryland beaches as well as along Delaware Bay.
Forecast models suggest a cold front may approach the region by Wednesday along with a possible area of low pressure. If this system arrives sooner than expected, temperatures may not reach the 70s in some locations. Behind the front, cooler air is expected to return by Thursday, although temperatures should still remain slightly above normal for early March.
In addition to the warmer weather, fog could become a recurring issue across the region. The combination of the milder air mass and increasing humidity moving over the colder ocean waters creates favorable conditions for fog formation. Some of the fog could become dense at times, particularly near the coastline and around Delaware Bay.
Drivers are urged to remain cautious during periods of reduced visibility, especially during the overnight and early morning hours when fog tends to be most widespread.
Overall, the upcoming pattern represents a notable shift toward springlike conditions after the colder weather that has dominated much of the winter season across the region.

Delaware Transit Corporation has landed a substantial $14.3 million federal grant that will breathe new life into dozens of buses serving communities across the First State.
The funding comes through the Federal Transit Administration’s Bus and Bus Facilities Program for fiscal year 2026 and will support comprehensive rehabilitation work on 51 buses. These vehicles make up nearly one-quarter of the entire DART fixed-route bus fleet that serves Delaware residents daily.
Rather than buying brand new buses, DTC officials say they’re taking a smart financial approach by refurbishing their current fleet. This midlife rehabilitation strategy allows the transit agency to keep buses in excellent working condition while avoiding the steep price tags that come with purchasing replacement vehicles.
The overhaul program represents what transportation officials call a high-return investment that will help maintain buses in a “State of Good Repair” as equipment costs continue climbing nationwide.
