DELMARVA -- We remain gripped by Arctic high pressure, keeping the region locked in bitter cold. Highs are expected to reach only the upper teens and low 20s, with lighter winds providing some relief. Skies will stay cloudy as a mid-level trough and strengthening upper-level jet influence the area.
The National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather Advisory through noon Wednesday due to dangerously low temperatures and wind chills. Overnight lows are projected to drop into the single digits, with wind chills ranging from 0 to -5 degrees.
Light snow is expected tonight along the coast, affecting areas from Bethany Beach, Del., to Ocean City, Md., and Chincoteague, Va. This will be between 8 and 12 o'clock tonight.
