After storms moved through Delmarva Friday night, we saw more heavy weather – with thunderstorms Saturday afternoon.  Some of those storms were accompanied by hail that was described as pea to dime-size in many places from New Castle County in Delaware to Somerset County in Maryland.

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly, NJ and Wakefield, VA also had multiple reports of pea to dime-size hail.  There were also reports of trees and wires down in the mid-shore area in Maryland – from St. Michaels to Federalsburg as well as Seaford and Laurel in western Sussex County and Felton and Houston in Kent County.  Winds were reported with gusts to near 45mph.
