Weekend Weather: Coastal Report

Headed to the beach this weekend? 

Expect "a pleasant warm up" at three nearby beaches, according to the National Weather Service (NWS), but the evenings will remind you, it's not summer yet.  

Temperatures in Ocean City are expected to hover around the low 80s this weekend, peaking at 83 on Saturday with clear, sunny skies, according to NWS.

Though temperatures will be 5 – 10 degrees higher than normal for this time of year, they will still drop to the high 60s at night.

Things are looking more summery at Rehoboth Beach, in Delaware, where temperatures are expected to reach 81 degrees on Friday, and go up from there to the mid-80s Saturday and Sunday, according to NWS. 

You may want to pack a bathing suit and an umbrella, though, as there should be partly cloudy skies and a chance of rain and thunderstorm activity this weekend, too. Temperatures will drop to the low-to-mid 60s at night.

If want to break a sweat this weekend, you’ll have to head down to Virginia Beach where temperatures will start off in the low 80s Friday, and climb to near 90 degrees, according to NWS, with sunny skies.

Staying close to home?
