Snow exits early Wednesday with cold air entrenched across Sussex County through Thursday, setting the stage for a dangerous arctic blast this weekend.

A brief brush with winter weather starting this afternoon as a low-pressure system tracks northward. 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.

High pressure will continue to influence Delmarva's weather through early next week, bringing mostly clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Expect patchy fog and low clouds during the overnight and early morning hours, particularly near coastal areas. A tropical disturbance off the Southeastern U.S. coast may bring rain to the region by midweek, but uncertainty remains about its impact.
