A winter storm will bring heavy snow, strong winds, and hazardous travel conditions to Sussex County and Ocean City from Tuesday afternoon through early Wednesday, with accumulations of 5-7 inches and locally higher amounts possible.
A brief brush with winter weather starting this afternoon as a low-pressure system tracks northward. Rain will transition to sleet and snow by evening, though accumulation will remain light across most of the region. Following the system’s passage, an arctic cold front will plunge temperatures into the single digits by Monday night, bringing dangerously cold wind chills and potential hazards for residents and infrastructure.
Delmarva is currently experiencing heavy snowfall, with rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour. The snow will continue through the morning, before a brief lull this afternoon, followed by another round of snow this evening. Early snowfall reports show 3-6 inches already on the ground in many areas. Travel today is not recommended as roads are covered in snow, and conditions will continue to worsen.
Sunny skies this morning, but frigid wind chills and gusty winds will make it feel like the teens. Clouds will increase late Sunday ahead of an overnight snowstorm that could bring 4 to 10 inches of snow to the region. Snow may mix with sleet or freezing rain along the southern coast, with blowing and drifting snow expected Monday night into Tuesday as winds intensify.
Delmarva will endure frigid temperatures tonight as Arctic high pressure builds over the region, with lows dipping into the lower 20s and wind chills plummeting into the teens. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for Monday through early Tuesday, with 4 to as much as 10 inches of snow expected across the area. Bitter cold and gusty winds will linger through the week.
