Maryland has issued a drought warning for most of the state due to ongoing dry conditions and below-average rainfall. While no statewide mandatory restrictions are in place, residents are urged to conserve water as warmer weather approaches.
Colder air is settling into the region this afternoon, with highs only reaching the mid 50s. It will be breezy with gusts up to 30 mph at times.
High pressure remains offshore through Tuesday with mild conditions and a weak cold front bringing light showers Tuesday afternoon, followed by more active weather later in the week
Delmarva woke up this morning to a blanket of heavy, wet snow, with Kent and Sussex Counties, as well as the Eastern Shore, receiving 5 to 8 inches of accumulation. This wet snow, laden with water, makes for a challenging cleanup, especially when removing it from cars and driveways. While main roads are just wet, side streets and backroads are slushy. As temperatures rise over the next 24 hours, the snow will transition to rain. But the weather isn't done yet—later today, a new low pressure system will bring more rain, followed by a cold front, and a stormy weekend ahead.
After substantial snowfall, Sussex County and Ocean City are anticipated to experience significant rainfall starting Wednesday evening, potentially leading to rapid snowmelt and localized flooding.
A chilly but sunny start to the week on Delmarva will give way to an active weather pattern. Accumulating snow is expected Tuesday afternoon into early Wednesday, followed by a second system bringing rain from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday. High pressure will return by Friday, bringing colder but calmer conditions.
A developing low-pressure system will bring a mix of snow, rain, and freezing rain to the region from Saturday into early Sunday before conditions improve later in the day.
A second cold front will bring breezy conditions late Thursday into Friday before a high-pressure system briefly settles over the region.
A Yellow Alert this evening and overnight. A wintry mix will develop across Delmarva this evening, with slippery roads possible. Then plain rain late tonight into Thursday.
