Heat Wave Is Over!

After four days of experiencing temperatures at or above 90 degrees, the heat wave is officially over! Here's a look at yesterday's high temps from across Delmarva:

Dover - 96
Georgetown - 98 R
Salisbury - 97 R
Ocean City - 91
Wallops Island - 94 R
Melfa - 102

All locations that maintain climate data records broke yesterday's record. Georgetown's old record was 97 in 1964. Salisbury's was 96 in 1964 and Wallops Island's (which has a much shorter data log) old record was 92 in 1991.

Today will still be warmer than normal with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s, but it won't be as muggy. Today's dewpoints should remain in the low 60s versus the mid 70s yesterday. Temperatures look to remain above average heading into early next week.
