As we approach the unofficial start of summer with Memorial Day, Delawareans can expect this year’s holiday to be the hottest day of the long weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
Monday’s forecast calls for highs near 82 degrees and partly cloudy skies. There’s a 20% chance of precipitation starting during the day, and that increases to 30% Monday night.
If you’re outside at night on Memorial Day, a light jacket or hoodie may come in handy — temperatures are likely to dip to around 58 degrees. It will feel humid, and showers may develop later Monday night, the NWS predicts.
Memorial Day weather forecast
You can expect this weekend to be nice and there’s a better chance of staying dry, than getting wet, according to NWS.
Temperatures will be in the mid-70s Saturday and Sunday before climbing to highs near 75 in Wilmington. It will drop into the 50s on both nights, the NWS predicts.
