A significant winter storm is just hours away from impacting the peninsula as an area of low pressure moves along the coast later Tuesday, bringing heavy snowfall across the region.

Delmarva is currently experiencing heavy snowfall, with rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour. The snow will continue through the morning, before a brief lull this afternoon, followed by another round of snow this evening. Early snowfall reports show 3-6 inches already on the ground in many areas. Travel today is not recommended as roads are covered in snow, and conditions will continue to worsen.

Sunny skies this morning, but frigid wind chills and gusty winds will make it feel like the teens. Clouds will increase late Sunday ahead of an overnight snowstorm that could bring 4 to 10 inches of snow to the region. Snow may mix with sleet or freezing rain along the southern coast, with blowing and drifting snow expected Monday night into Tuesday as winds intensify.
