We continue to see a prolonged stretch of dangerous, potentially record-setting cold across Delmarva that will last through the remainder of the week and into the weekend.
A prolonged stretch of dangerous, potentially record-setting cold is settling over Delmarva from today through the weekend. A powerful coastal storm will bring snow, high winds and coastal flooding late Saturday-Sunday.
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 rare and potentially record-setting blast of Arctic air settles over Delmarva, bringing highs stuck in the 20s and low 30s but feeling much colder due to wind chills. By midweek into Friday night, overnight lows drop to the single digits, with wind chills well below zero—cold enough for frostbite and hypothermia within minutes. We are also watching a potential coastal storm late Saturday into Sunday that could bring snow, strong winds, and coastal flooding/erosion concerns.
Delmarva is entering a prolonged stretch of dangerous, potentially record-setting cold, with below-freezing highs all week, single-digit lows, and wind chills dropping below zero, prompting a Cold Weather Advisory tonight through Wednesday morning.
A winter storm warning remains in effect for the Delmarva Peninsula until Monday afternoon as snow spreads across Sussex County early Sunday and transitions to sleet, freezing rain and rain later in the day.
Sussex County will start Friday quiet and seasonable, but a powerful arctic blast will move in by Friday night, bringing below-zero wind chills into early Saturday morning.
Mostly sunny skies today will give way to a burst of dangerous arctic cold Friday night, then a high-impact winter storm threat Saturday night through early Monday, followed by days of bitter cold.
Delmarva gets a brief break with sun and milder temperatures through Thursday, but an arctic blast late Friday and a potential Saturday night-to-Monday storm could bring dangerous wind chills and significant snow.
