It remains quite cold for Delmarva today, and feeling even colder with the wind. Winter Storm Watch is in effect for accumulating snow later Wednesday into Thursday.
High winds continued to impact Delmarva on Sunday, bringing non-thunderstorm-related damage, including downed trees and roof damage in Laurel and Bethel, as gusts exceeded 60 mph. Peak wind speeds reached 67 mph in Lewes and Bethel, with Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach also experiencing strong gusts. A brief warm-up into the 60s accompanied rain, but a cold front is now bringing plunging temperatures, with lows in the 30s and wind chills in the teens and twenties by Presidents’ Day. Wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph will persist overnight. A developing coastal storm midweek could bring at least 6 inches of snow to much of Delmarva, with travel disruptions expected. The First Alert Weather team has issued Red Alerts for both the high winds and the potential winter storm.
The threat for significant snowfall growing for Delmarva as we move into Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. Winter Storm Watches are up for the entire peninsula.Â
