Delmarva stays cold and windy today with highs in the low to mid 30s and gusty northwest winds causing some blowing snow, followed by increasing clouds tonight. A weak clipper brings spotty flurries or a brief rain/snow shower Tuesday night into early Wednesday, then milder air arrives with highs near 50 Wednesday and more melting. A late-week system brings a chance of mixed precip Thursday, turning mainly rain Thursday night into early Friday, before much warmer weather this weekend in the upper 50s to near 60.

Colder-than-normal temperatures have settled across Delmarva, with highs ranging from the mid-30s to low 40s. The chill deepens by Thursday and into the weekend, as an arctic cold front approaches. While light snow is possible Friday, more impactful snow squalls and dangerously cold wind chills are expected Friday night into Saturday. Gusty winds behind the front may reach 50 mph, especially near the coast.

It’s Groundhog Day, and Punxsutawney Phil is calling for six more weeks of winter—but the COASTTV First Alert Weather team is already ahead of him, tracking more arctic air for Delmarva even after a short-lived warm-up. We’ll squeeze out some milder temperatures Tuesday, but a pair of clipper systems could bring light snow chances midweek and again Friday night, followed by another blast of bitter cold this weekend.
