Happy Fourth of July, Delmarva! It’s going to be a scorcher out there today, so make sure you’re staying hydrated and cool. We’re looking at a high near 100°F with heat index values climbing as high as 105°F — that’s dangerous heat, folks. The morning and early afternoon will be sunny, but keep an eye on the sky after 5 PM. A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead of tonight’s fireworks, and some of those storms could produce heavy rainfall. Light northwest winds around 5 mph won’t offer much relief from the heat.
Tonight, that storm chance continues as temperatures drop to a more comfortable 74°F. If your fireworks show is weather-delayed, stay patient and stay safe!
Looking ahead to Sunday, expect mostly sunny skies with a high near 90°F — still warm, but a noticeable step down from today. Another round of storms is possible Sunday evening and overnight.
Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy your Independence Day, Delmarva! 🎆
