A classic summer weekend of weather is in the cards for Delaware’s beaches.
On Friday, a cool, cloudy and windy day will give way to a hot, humid weekend with storm potentials for both Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29.
Friday’s dreariness and rain chances slowly clear out on Saturday morning, and the sun comes out and turns up the heat once again. Heat indexes in Rehoboth Beach could claw their way up to the low 90s before a very slight chance of storms in the early afternoon.
The high temperature for Saturday in Rehoboth will be around 83 with partly sunny skies, but that does not factor the humidity. There will be a typical breeze from the south. The region is due for a cold front, which will swing through on Saturday afternoon and evening for the entire state. National Weather Service meteorologist Nick Guzzo said isolated, severe storms with strong wind gusts cannot be ruled out.
Even though neither one of these days are close to a washout, Sunday is the better bet for a dry day. NWS forecasts for Rehoboth Beach show rain chances clearing up throughout the morning, and showing a 21% chance for rain between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., before becoming unlikely Sunday evening. The high temperature in Rehoboth remains at 83 for Sunday under sunnier skies.
Temperatures in Wilmington this weekend will be warmer than the beaches, obviously, with both days forecasted at 88 with heat indexes in the high 90s under partly sunny skies. NWS thinks rain chances are higher in New Castle County, topping out at 60% on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Wilmington. Sunday is likely to remain dry and slightly less humid under sunnier skies.
Dover’s forecast from the NWS shows a more consistent chance at thunderstorms all of Saturday afternoon, reaching 46% at 7 p.m. under similarly partly sunny skies. There is a 24% chance of storms from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday afternoon as well. Both days have a high temperature of 88 degrees, Saturday feeling warmer with a heat index of 97 degrees.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Jo Silver ran for 116 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown, and Delaware wrapped up its first year in the FBS with a 20-13 victory over Louisiana in the 68 Ventures Bowl on Wednesday night.
The Fightin’ Blue Hens, who went 6-6 in their first year of FBS play, were granted a waiver to play in a bowl game after there were not enough six-win teams to fill all 42 of the FBS bowl games. In general, first-year FBS teams are not chosen for bowl games during their transition period. Wednesday’s victory makes Delaware 7-6 overall.
The Blue Hens had to defend two passes into their own end zone in the final seconds to preserve the win. The Ragin’ Cajuns had the ball on their own 7-yard line with 1:41 remaining. Lunch Winfield led a drive that included a 32-yard completion to Charles Robertson and a pass interference penalty on Delaware.
After Louisiana (6-7) reached the 8-yard line, Winfield ran for 1 yard on first down and threw incomplete on second down. On third down with two seconds left, Blake Matthews broke up a pass in the end zone.
Silver’s long touchdown gave Delaware a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter and the Blue Hens went on to lead 10-3 at halftime. Nick Minicucci’s 35-yard touchdown pass to Sean Wilson made it 17-3 early in the third quarter and a field goal made it 20-3 midway through the third quarter.
Louisiana kicked a field goal to make it 20-6 heading to the fourth and Winfield added an 8-yard touchdown pass to Shelton Sampson Jr. to make it 20-13 with eight minutes left.
Minicucci passed for 176 yards and Winfield had 231 yards.
