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.

Snow showers this evening as a weak low-pressure system passes through. Friday promises sunshine and mild temperatures near 40 degrees, the most pleasant day in the forecast. However, a strong arctic cold front on Sunday could bring light snow and usher in some of the coldest air of the season next week, with subzero wind chills and potential impacts on people, animals, and infrastructure.
High pressure will deliver calm and seasonable weather to Delmarva on today, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 40s. Clouds will build overnight as a new system approaches, bringing a chance of light rain and snow showers Friday into Friday night. The weekend ushers in colder, blustery conditions, with highs in the 20s to 30s, and arctic air settling into early next week.
