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.

A pleasant Friday and mild damp start to the weekend for Delmarva before another round of wintry weather arrives and an arctic blast early next week, bringing accumulating snow Sunday evening and dangerously cold temperatures into midweek
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.
