Good morning, Delmarva! It’s going to be a rough one out there today, so pay close attention to this forecast. We’re dealing with smoky skies to start the day, and that hazy air combined with the heat will push our heat index as high as 101°F — even though our actual high will reach near 93°F. Make sure you’re staying hydrated and limiting time outdoors if you can.
Storms will be developing through the afternoon, and some of those storms could turn severe. We’re looking at an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with rainfall totals between a quarter and half an inch possible. If you hear thunder, get inside immediately.
Tonight, storm chances linger into the evening before gradually tapering off, with a mild low around 74°F.
The good news? Sunday looks beautiful! Mostly sunny skies and a comfortable high of 86°F with a clear night dropping to 69°F — a perfect summer weekend rebound.
Stay weather-aware today, Delmarva. I’ll see you on TV Delmarva with updates throughout the day!
