Sussex County will turn drier and brighter Tuesday as the departing nor’easter loses its influence.

Improving weather is expected Tuesday, though minor coastal flooding may continue in parts of Sussex County.
Winds and surf are easing Sunday night, but coastal flooding remains a concern in southern Delaware through Monday afternoon.
Lingering showers and coastal flooding concerns will fade Monday as the nor’easter finally departs Delmarva.
Showers and gusty winds will gradually diminish Sunday evening, but dangerous surf, rip currents and coastal flooding remain concerns across parts of Delmarva.
Delmarva is settling into a prolonged, dangerous stretch of cold through the end of the week, with daytime highs stuck in the 20s and overnight lows dropping into the single digits—creating wind chills below zero at times. Friday could challenge a record for the coldest high temperature. Attention then turns to a rapidly strengthening coastal storm this weekend that could bring snow, high winds, and coastal flooding, though the exact track (and impacts) remain uncertain.
For all the stories you missed this week, here is your Week In Review.
Delmarva is bracing for a powerful coastal storm expected to arrive late Saturday night, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and significant coastal flooding through Monday. Sustained winds up to 40 mph and gusts near 60 mph+ along the coast, with widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches and higher amounts possible. The storm could lead to beach erosion, dune breaches, power outages, and dangerous coastal conditions before improving weather returns by Tuesday.
High pressure will keep Delmarva sunny and seasonable through Friday before shifting offshore. Clouds and mild temperatures return Saturday ahead of a developing coastal storm expected to bring heavy rain, damaging winds, and coastal flooding beginning late Saturday night through Monday. Forecast confidence is increasing for significant impacts along the Atlantic coast, including beach erosion and water rise concerns.
A stalled front and incoming low pressure will bring widespread rain to Delmarva Sunday night into Monday. Expect up to 1.5 inches of rainfall, a sharp temperature drop, and gusty winds by midweek. After a brief dry spell, unsettled weather returns late Thursday into the weekend, with a chance of a nor’easter developing by Saturday.
