Good morning, Delmarva! If you’re heading outside today, make sure you’re prepared for some serious heat. We’re looking at a scorching high near 103°F this afternoon, with heat index values potentially reaching 110°F — that’s dangerously hot. A light northwest wind at 5 to 10 mph won’t offer much relief under mostly sunny skies. Please stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours, and check on elderly neighbors and pets.
Tonight, we’ll see a slight break with isolated showers and thunderstorms possible before skies clear out. Temperatures will only drop to around 81°F overnight — still quite warm.
Looking ahead to Independence Day tomorrow, expect another hot one with highs near 100°F. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop during the afternoon and evening, so keep that in mind for any Fourth of July celebrations — have a backup plan ready! Saturday night stays unsettled with showers and storms lingering.
Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy the holiday weekend, Delmarva! I’ll see you back here for your next update.
