HONOLULU — Military officials will begin digging up the remains of 88 servicemen from the USS Arizona who have been buried without names since the Pearl Harbor attack, hoping to finally identify these heroes using modern DNA science.
The sailors and Marines died when their battleship was bombed during Japan’s surprise attack 85 years ago, but their identities remained unknown despite military efforts at the time. Now, breakthrough advances in genetic testing offer new hope for putting names to these fallen warriors.
Kelly McKeague, who leads the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, announced Thursday that the removals from Honolulu’s National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific will start in November or December.
The process will move slowly and respectfully, with approximately eight sets of remains being removed every two to three weeks. Scientists will then match DNA from the remains against genetic samples provided by family members of missing troops.
Japan’s December 7, 1941 bombing of the Hawaiian naval installation destroyed or damaged dozens of vessels, ultimately drawing America into World War II.
This latest identification mission builds on a decade of similar DNA projects involving Pearl Harbor casualties. The same agency has successfully identified hundreds of crew members from the USS Oklahoma, USS West Virginia and other vessels using comparable techniques.
The Arizona went down in just nine minutes after taking a direct hit, and 1,177 servicemen died aboard the vessel — accounting for nearly half of all American deaths during the attack. The sunken battleship remains on the harbor floor today, serving as the final resting place for more than 900 sailors and Marines still trapped inside.
Those remains will stay undisturbed in their underwater tomb. Only the servicemen buried in the cemetery will be removed for identification.
Robert Edwin Kline served as a 22-year-old gunner’s mate second class when he perished on the Arizona. His great-nephew Kevin Kline, who works in real estate in northern Virginia, grew up believing his relative’s body remained with the ship. He only learned a few years back that some crew members had been laid to rest as unknowns in the cemetery.
While Kevin Kline doesn’t expect his great-uncle to be among those identified, he thinks families who do receive DNA matches will find peace after decades of what he calls “generational grief.”
He recalled meeting a woman who couldn’t understand her lifelong sadness during Christmas season. She eventually realized the timing connected to her grandmother losing a son on the Arizona and her mother losing a brother — both women avoided holiday celebrations because they came so soon after the attack’s anniversary.
“As she got older, she realized that her grandmother and her mom were still grieving about this loss,” Kline said. “And it fell on her as well.”
For years, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency refused to dig up Arizona remains, arguing it wouldn’t be practical since they had medical records, dental records and family DNA for only a tiny fraction of the men — just 1% of families as recently as 2021.
Kevin Kline responded by creating Operation 85 and spending three years tracking down relatives and convincing them to provide DNA samples. Of the 1,500 people he reached out to, only about 15 refused to help.
Family members of 626 sailors and Marines have now contributed their DNA, Kline reported. That represents nearly 60% of the crew members still unaccounted for, and additional sample kits continue arriving.
Kline admits feeling angry and frustrated by the military’s earlier resistance, but his attitude has shifted.
“I’m happy that we were able to kind of pull this together and turn that hard no,” Kline said.
The recovered remains will be transported to the agency’s laboratory at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam for initial examination. DNA samples will then be shipped to the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for final analysis.
The military newspaper Stars and Stripes first broke the story about the Arizona disinterment decision.

The latest U.S. Drought Monitor, released Thursday, shows drought conditions continuing across portions of the Delmarva Peninsula, although impacts vary depending on location across Delaware, Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and the lower Eastern Shore of Virginia.
According to the newest data, areas of moderate drought (D1) remain across parts of the lower Maryland Eastern Shore and nearby sections of the Mid Atlantic. Meanwhile, other portions of the Delmarva region are classified as abnormally dry (D0), indicating lingering moisture deficits but not yet reaching official drought status.
The U.S. Drought Monitor categorizes drought into several levels, ranging from D0 (abnormally dry) to D4 (exceptional drought). Areas in the D0 category are often experiencing short term dryness or recovering from drought conditions, while D1 indicates more significant moisture deficits that can begin to impact agriculture, water supplies, and ecosystems.
Delmarva Conditions
Across the Delmarva Peninsula, drought conditions have been driven largely by several months of below normal precipitation, which has led to declining groundwater levels, reduced streamflow, and drier soils in some areas. Long term precipitation deficits in parts of Delaware have ranged several inches below normal over the past six months, contributing to the ongoing dryness.
The latest assessment shows the most notable drought conditions focused across portions of the Maryland Eastern Shore, while parts of Delaware and the Virginia Eastern Shore remain mostly in the abnormally dry category or near normal conditions.
Impacts Across the Region
Even moderate drought can have noticeable impacts across Delmarva. Dry soils can affect early season agriculture, groundwater recharge, and local water supplies. In addition, periods of dry and windy weather can increase the risk of brush and vegetation fires, particularly during late winter and early spring when vegetation is dormant.
Officials in parts of the Mid Atlantic have previously issued drought advisories and warnings due to these ongoing dry conditions, especially where streamflow and groundwater levels remain below normal.
Following a major sewage spill in the Potomac River, ongoing water quality monitoring reveals bacteria levels have dropped to safe recreational standards after a federal pipeline rupture earlier this year.
The environmental crisis began January 19 when a massive 72-inch sewage pipeline called the Potomac Interceptor suffered a catastrophic break, releasing untreated waste into the river. The pipeline, operated by DC Water, carries sewage from Northern Virginia to the Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant in Washington, D.C.
State and local officials quickly implemented emergency closures in affected areas and issued health warnings for all river users following the discharge from the deteriorating federal infrastructure.
DC Water has successfully stopped the sewage release, and continuous monitoring by Maryland’s Department of the Environment has documented acceptable bacteria concentrations in river waters south of Washington D.C. since February 17.
Maryland’s Department of Health is collaborating with Montgomery, Prince George’s, and Charles counties to determine when no-contact advisories can be removed from their river sections. Washington, D.C. already canceled its no-contact warning on March 2 after several weeks of consistently low bacterial readings.
Shellfish harvesting areas in Charles County, located approximately 60 miles downstream from the spill location, showed no contamination evidence during testing. The precautionary harvest bans implemented in these waters will be removed March 10.
The Potomac River Fisheries Commission announced in a collaborative statement with Maryland response agencies that fishing remains permitted in their jurisdictional waters and will continue during the upcoming crabbing season.
Maryland maintains shellfish safety through participation in the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, which enforces strict health standards including regular water quality assessments, harvesting procedure reviews, and legal compliance measures. The Maryland Natural Resources Police serves as one of several enforcement bodies ensuring harvest safety.
Following a request from the District of Columbia, President Biden approved an emergency declaration on February 21, enabling federal funding assistance for remaining repair and cleanup operations. DC shares responsibility with DC Water for incident response costs.
The Department of Natural Resources pledges continued cooperation with all responding agencies to monitor any remaining threats from the contained sewage discharge, prioritizing public health and environmental safety.
DOVER, DE – Delaware’s healthcare policy officials rolled out comprehensive reform legislation on March 5, 2026, with Senate Bill 1 designed to prioritize patients and medical providers while tackling the state’s healthcare affordability crisis.
The sweeping proposal was announced jointly by legislative leadership and the state’s Insurance Commissioner during a Dover press conference. Officials say the measure focuses on redistributing healthcare dollars more effectively while expanding access to quality, affordable medical services.
The legislation represents an ambitious effort to restructure how healthcare funding flows through Delaware’s system, with particular emphasis on strengthening primary care services. Policy makers describe the bill as putting patients and healthcare providers at the center of reform efforts.
According to state officials, the proposal builds upon previous work by Delaware’s Department of Health and represents a significant step toward addressing long-standing concerns about medical care costs and accessibility throughout the First State.
Students from across Delaware had the opportunity to witness history in the making as they attended the American debut of Glory Ride, a powerful new musical production. The show brings to life the remarkable wartime story of Gino Bartali, an Italian cycling champion whose heroic deeds during World War II led to the rescue of hundreds of Jewish individuals facing Fascist persecution.
The educational theater experience took place during special student matinee showings in March, providing young people with a unique learning opportunity that combines arts education with important historical lessons about the Holocaust.
This cultural initiative aligns with Delaware’s Strategic Plan objectives while offering students an engaging way to learn about courage, resistance, and human compassion during one of history’s darkest periods. The musical showcases how one person’s determination and bravery can make a profound difference in the lives of others facing persecution.
Weather forecasters are warning that the season’s first significant severe weather outbreak could impact America’s central regions, placing millions of residents from Texas through Iowa in the path of dangerous tornado activity.
The National Weather Service reported that isolated severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop Thursday evening across the Texas Panhandle, western Oklahoma, and portions of Kansas. Forecasters anticipate these storms will produce large hail, destructive winds, and potentially several tornadoes.
However, Friday is when the most dangerous weather conditions are anticipated across a broad region encompassing much of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri, while extending into adjacent states, weather service forecasts indicate.
The Storm Prediction Center reports that over 6 million Americans face the greatest severe weather threat on Friday, including residents of the Kansas City and Tulsa, Oklahoma metropolitan regions. An additional 22 million people are under a moderate risk level in areas that encompass Oklahoma City, St. Louis, Omaha, Nebraska, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This same weather system driving the severe storm potential will also deliver exceptionally high temperatures for the season 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 forecasters wrote in their long-range forecast discussion. “Daily records could become widespread.”
WASHINGTON — Delaware is among 24 states that filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging President Donald Trump’s recently implemented global import duties, which were put in place following a major Supreme Court setback.
Democratic state attorneys general spearheading the legal challenge claim Trump is exceeding his executive authority with the proposed 15% import duties affecting much of the world.
The president has defended the tariffs as necessary tools to address America’s persistent trade deficits. Trump implemented the duties using Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 after the Supreme Court invalidated tariffs he had established last year through emergency powers legislation.
The previously unused Section 122 permits presidents to establish tariffs up to 15%, but limits them to five months without congressional approval.
Oregon, Arizona, California and New York attorneys general are spearheading the legal action.
The plaintiff states contend that Section 122 was designed for use only under specific, narrow conditions and doesn’t authorize Trump to establish broad-based import taxes. They also claim the tariffs will increase expenses for state governments, businesses and consumers.
Many of these same states previously won legal battles against Trump’s tariffs established under different legislation: the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Just four days after the Supreme Court invalidated his comprehensive IEEPA tariffs on February 20, Trump utilized Section 122 to establish 10% duties on international goods. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant announced to CNBC on Wednesday that the administration would increase the rates to the maximum 15% this week.
Democratic states and other opponents argue the president cannot utilize Section 122 as a substitute for the invalidated tariffs to address trade deficit issues.
The Section 122 provision targets what it describes as “fundamental international payments problems.” The central question is whether this language encompasses trade deficits — the difference between U.S. exports and imports.
Section 122 emerged from financial crises during the 1960s and 1970s when the U.S. dollar was backed by gold. Foreign nations were exchanging dollars for gold at fixed rates, threatening currency collapse and market instability. Since the dollar is no longer gold-backed, opponents argue Section 122 is outdated.
In an embarrassing development for Trump, his Justice Department argued in court documents last year that the president needed emergency powers because Section 122 had “not have any obvious application” for addressing trade deficits, calling them “conceptually distinct” from balance-of-payment concerns.
However, some legal experts believe the Trump administration has stronger legal ground this time.
“The legal reality is that courts will likely provide President Trump substantially more deference regarding Section 122 than they did to his previous tariffs under IEEPA,” Peter Harrell, visiting scholar at Georgetown University’s Institute of International Economic Law, wrote in a Wednesday analysis.
The specialized Court of International Trade in New York, which will consider the states’ lawsuit, ruled last year when striking down the emergency-powers tariffs that Trump didn’t require them since Section 122 was available for combating trade deficits.
Companies that paid duties under that legislation achieved a court victory Wednesday when a judge determined refunds are warranted.
Trump possesses additional legal mechanisms for implementing tariffs, with some already surviving judicial scrutiny. Duties Trump established on Chinese imports during his initial presidency under Section 301 of the same 1974 trade legislation remain active.
The lawsuit also includes attorneys general from Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, plus the governors of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
During America’s colonial era, taverns functioned as far more than simple establishments for food and beverages. These venues, frequently referred to as “public houses of entertainment,” operated as vital community centers where residents exchanged information, handled business matters, and built social connections.

After a stretch of gloomy and cool weather, a significant warm up is expected to develop across the Delmarva Peninsula this weekend and continue into the first half of next week. Forecasters say temperatures could surge well above normal as a much milder air mass spreads into the Mid Atlantic.
The transition begins later this weekend as a ridge of high pressure builds over the western Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, several upper level disturbances will track across the northern United States, helping to set up a pattern that allows warmer air to gradually move northward into the region.
Before the warmer air fully arrives, cooler conditions may linger into Saturday due to a setup known as cold air damming. Strong high pressure over eastern Canada will push cooler air southward into the region, while a boundary remains positioned to the south and west of Delmarva. This could keep skies cloudy with areas of fog and cooler temperatures early in the weekend.
As the weekend progresses, the colder air mass will begin to erode from south to north. This process may lead to a sharp temperature difference across the region on Saturday before warmer air eventually takes over. Some showers may also develop Saturday night as a disturbance passes to the north and a trailing cold front approaches. A stray thunderstorm cannot be ruled out, although widespread severe weather is not expected.
By Sunday, much of the Delmarva region will become firmly established within the warmer air mass as high pressure settles offshore. Winds shifting to the south and southwest will help draw warmer air northward.
Temperatures are expected to climb into the 60s across much of the region Sunday and Monday. Even warmer conditions are likely by the middle of next week, when highs could reach the low to mid 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday. These readings would be 10 to 20 degrees above average for early March.
Communities along the coast may see somewhat cooler temperatures due to developing sea breezes off the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay. This could keep coastal locations several degrees cooler than inland areas.
The warm pattern may not last indefinitely, however. Forecast models suggest a cold front could approach the region around Wednesday, bringing another chance of showers and potentially preventing temperatures from reaching the warmest projections.
Even so, the overall trend points toward a dramatic shift from recent chilly conditions to a stretch of springlike warmth across the Delmarva Peninsula during the upcoming week.
Governor Matt Meyer has officially proclaimed March 9 through March 13, 2026 as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Delaware, encouraging residents across the First State to prepare for potentially dangerous weather events that can occur throughout the year.
The initiative is led by the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) in partnership with the National Weather Service, the University of Delaware’s Center for Environmental Monitoring and Analysis (CEMA), the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and Delaware Sea Grant. The goal is to increase awareness about severe weather threats and encourage residents to take steps now to protect their families and communities.
State officials say the week serves as a reminder that Delaware regularly faces weather hazards such as flooding, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, lightning, and coastal storms. Many of these events can develop quickly, giving residents little time to react without proper preparation.
Daily Severe Weather Safety Topics
Throughout the week, emergency management officials will focus on a different severe weather hazard each day, sharing safety tips and preparedness information.
Monday: Flood safety
Tuesday: Tornado safety
Wednesday: Severe thunderstorms and hail
Thursday: Lightning safety
Friday: Preparing for severe weather
Residents are encouraged to follow along on social media and online resources to learn how to respond when severe weather strikes.
Recent Severe Weather Highlights Need for Preparedness
Delaware has experienced several significant weather events in recent years that highlight the importance of preparedness.
In 2020, the remnants of Tropical Storm Isaias produced the longest tornado ever recorded in Delaware, carving a destructive path from Dover in Kent County to Glasgow in New Castle County. More recently, a tornado in Sussex County in April 2023 resulted in the state’s first tornado-related fatality in decades.
Flooding has also been a growing concern. The remnants of Hurricane Ida produced historic rainfall and flooding in Wilmington in 2021, underscoring the risks associated with extreme weather across the region.
Nationally, severe weather continues to cause major impacts. According to federal climate data, the United States recorded 27 separate billion-dollar weather disasters in 2024, with the majority tied to severe thunderstorms.
Steps Delaware Residents Can Take Now
Emergency management officials say preparedness before severe weather strikes is critical. Residents are encouraged to:
Sign up for alerts through the Delaware Emergency Notification System (DENS)
Build a basic emergency preparedness kit
Create a family emergency plan
Know evacuation zones and local hazards
Stay informed through weather alerts and trusted forecasts
More preparedness information and resources are available at PrepareDE.org.
Officials say even small steps taken ahead of severe weather can significantly reduce risks to lives and property when dangerous conditions develop.
A stretch of gloomy weather is expected to continue across the Delmarva Peninsula through Friday as a stalled frontal boundary keeps the region locked into cool, damp conditions.
The front will remain positioned mostly south of the region, allowing several weak areas of low pressure to move along it. These disturbances will periodically bring light rain or scattered showers while maintaining a very moist air mass over the area.
The first round of rain arrived early Thursday morning, with another wave expected to move through later tonight. Between these periods of rainfall, mist and drizzle are likely to develop, along with areas of fog as light winds and abundant moisture linger across the region.
Patchy dense fog will remain a concern at times through Friday. However, forecasters note that winds may stay just strong enough to prevent widespread dense fog development. Melting snow and warming ground temperatures may also help reduce the risk somewhat, though localized visibility reductions are still possible, particularly during the overnight and early morning hours.
As a result, conditions may remain murky across much of the Delmarva Peninsula with low clouds and periods of reduced visibility.
The unsettled pattern continues into Friday as a backdoor cold front pushes into the region from the north and east before stalling across Delmarva. This setup will trap low-level moisture beneath a temperature inversion, leading to persistent cloud cover along with occasional drizzle, light showers, and areas of fog.
Temperatures will stay on the cool side for early March, with afternoon highs across most of the region expected to remain in the 40s.
Good news for early morning commuters – the National Weather Service has cancelled the Dense Fog Advisory that was affecting parts of Delaware and South Jersey.
The advisory, which expired at 5:30 AM, had been in effect for several areas including inland Sussex County, Delaware beaches, and multiple counties in South Jersey including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
Visibility conditions have improved significantly across the region, allowing the weather service to lift the advisory earlier than initially expected. The fog had reduced visibility to less than a quarter mile in some areas during the overnight hours.
While the advisory has been cancelled, drivers should still exercise caution during early morning hours when fog can develop quickly, especially near coastal areas and inland waterways. When encountering any remaining patches of fog, remember to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
The improved visibility means normal travel conditions have returned to the Delmarva Peninsula and South Jersey coastal regions. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the day, and remember to allow extra time for your morning commute as conditions can change rapidly during this time of year.
Drivers traveling on Shingle Point Road should expect delays today as the Delaware Department of Transportation has implemented a temporary lane restriction for ongoing construction work.

Cloudy, foggy conditions will continue across the Delmarva Peninsula today as a slow moving weather system lifts north through the region. A stationary front currently stretching from low pressure over the Ohio Valley across Delmarva and southern New Jersey will gradually begin to shift northward as a warm front through the day.
As this front lifts north, temperatures across the region will slowly rise. Afternoon highs are expected to reach the low 50s for many areas, with some locations across Delmarva potentially climbing into the upper 50s. Temperatures will remain relatively mild overnight as well, only dropping into the 40s.
Fog has been widespread across the region early today, although visibility has shown some improvement in some areas. Despite this, fog is expected to remain a concern through much of the day, particularly closer to the coast, Delaware Bay, and along the shoreline where it may remain thicker and more persistent. Motorists traveling in these areas should continue to exercise caution due to reduced visibility.
Later this afternoon and into the evening hours, a disturbance in the upper atmosphere combined with weak low pressure moving through the region may trigger scattered showers. The best chance for rain will be across the Delaware Valley, southern New Jersey, and the Delmarva Peninsula. While rainfall amounts are expected to remain relatively light, wet roads could add to the already challenging travel conditions caused by fog.
As the main low pressure system moves closer tonight, fog is expected to redevelop and cloud ceilings will likely lower once again. Another round of light rain may also develop late tonight as the system approaches. Overnight temperatures will remain mild, generally settling into the 40s across the region.
The unsettled and damp conditions are expected to linger into Thursday as the slow moving weather pattern continues to influence the Mid-Atlantic.

Good morning, Delmarva! We’re looking at a gray and damp Wednesday across the peninsula, with temperatures reaching a cool 52 degrees under mostly cloudy skies.
Early risers may have caught some light showers before 7 AM, and we’re keeping a 40% chance of rain in the forecast throughout the day. You might also notice some patchy fog developing, so take it easy on those morning and evening commutes. Winds will be light from the north at 5 mph or less, and any rainfall should stay light – we’re only expecting less than a tenth of an inch.
Tonight, those rain chances increase as we drop to 41 degrees, so you’ll want that umbrella handy. Looking ahead to Thursday, Mother Nature isn’t quite done with us yet. We’ll warm up nicely to 61 degrees, but rain showers become likely during the day. Thursday night brings the potential for some rumbles of thunder as showers and storms move through, with lows around 46.
Stay dry out there, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow with your updated Delmarva forecast!
