Looks like we are going to see some severe weather on Sunday.  Not to worry but it is a good idea to keep an eye on the sky just in case.  Then again this is Delaware and the weather could change in fifteen minutes.  Below I added the latest weather reports.  be safe and smart if the storms are severe.  Our roads tend to flood very fast in the lower areas.  Also keep in mind that most rods can act as lightening rods at the beach or in your hand.  Do not fish in a thunderstorm.  Seek shelter and wait it out.  Severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and hail, and isolated tornadoes are possible in the shaded areas.

Fish On!!
