Wintry conditions briefly return to Delmarva, then a warming trend next week, with scattered rain showers.

Sussex County will ride a mild stretch from late Friday through late Saturday evening, then brace for a colder pattern as an arctic front approaches late Saturday night into Sunday.

Delmarva stays quiet and seasonable today with upper 40s to low 50s, then warms quickly Saturday with inland highs near 60 (cooler at the beaches). An arctic front sweeps through late Saturday night, bringing a noticeably colder, breezy Sunday. Early next week, two separate systems could bring periods of wintry precipitation, followed by a likely transition to rain midweek. A bigger warm-up looks increasingly likely late next week.

Light snow late Friday night is expected to be followed by high winds and life-threatening wind chills Saturday into early Sunday from Delaware’s beaches through Ocean City.

Sussex County is expected to stay mostly calm through Friday evening, with light snow developing late and a much more dangerous wind-and-cold outbreak slated for the weekend.

Delmarva stays sunny but cold today, then turns cloudier Friday ahead of a clipper and an arctic front. Snow looks minimal (if any, just a dusting), but a sharp temperature crash and powerful winds arrive Saturday—bringing dangerous wind chills into the single digits and potentially below zero.

Snow exits early Wednesday with cold air entrenched across Sussex County through Thursday, setting the stage for a dangerous arctic blast this weekend.

Today is the best day of the week across Delmarva, with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s before clouds thicken late. A weak clipper brings a quick hit of light snow after midnight, ending by daybreak Wednesday with an inch or less. The bigger story late week into the weekend is a surge of Arctic air—dangerously cold wind chills and another round of light snow or snow squalls possible Friday.

Mostly sunny skies today will give way to a burst of dangerous arctic cold Friday night, then a high-impact winter storm threat Saturday night through early Monday, followed by days of bitter cold.

Wind chills in the teens will linger across Delmarva today before a short-lived warmup Thursday, we are watching a potentially impactful winter storm late Saturday through Sunday.
