DELMARVA - Another winter weather maker is on the way to the coast on Friday. Similar to earlier in the week, this snow is expected to be light, but still quite impactful.
The snows arrival time is looking to be right around the morning commute. This could result in a few slippery spots early on, especially if the snow arrives earlier than expected. The snow will initially start out as rain or a wintry mix in parts of Worcester and southeast Sussex before transitioning over to all snow.
