DELMARVA - Sussex County is preparing for worsening winter weather as a major storm system targets the Delmarva Peninsula, bringing the threat of heavy snow, sleet and ice through Monday.
The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey, continues to warn of dangerous conditions across Delaware and the surrounding region as the storm develops, with the most significant impacts expected from Saturday night through early Monday afternoon.
Inland Sussex County could see a prolonged period of snow and wintry mix that may lead to difficult travel and hazardous road conditions, especially during the height of the storm Sunday into Monday.
Snowfall totals so far: As of the latest update, the National Weather Service snowfall reporting map shows only limited early reports across the broader Mid-Atlantic, and storm-total snowfall amounts for Sussex County have not yet been widely confirmed in official reports.
In addition to the Mount Holly coverage area, the National Weather Service office in Wakefield, Virginia, is also tracking winter weather hazards and snow potential across portions of its region, including areas farther south along the Mid-Atlantic coast.
Residents are urged to closely monitor official forecasts and alerts, avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavier snow and ice, and prepare for the possibility of rapidly changing conditions across the peninsula.
