A winter storm is set to impact Delmarva this afternoon as a low-pressure system moves up the coast, bringing periods of heavy snowfall through tonight. Snow accumulation is expected to range from 5 to 7 inches across much of the region, with localized areas potentially seeing higher totals. A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 7 a.m. Wednesday.

A winter storm will bring heavy snow, strong winds, and hazardous travel conditions to Sussex County and Ocean City from Tuesday afternoon through early Wednesday, with accumulations of 5-7 inches and locally higher amounts possible.

Delmarva braces for a frigid night, with wind chills in the single digits and light snow expected Friday night into Saturday morning. Accumulations will vary from 1-3 inches across much of the peninsula to up to 5 inches in parts of Accomack County. Gusty winds and icy roads pose hazards, while below-average temperatures persist into next week.

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.
