A fast-moving clipper system will move toward the Delmarva region Tuesday night, bringing a brief period of light wintry precipitation before milder air takes over on Wednesday.
Precipitation is expected to begin as light snow across parts of the peninsula Tuesday night. However, moisture with this system will be limited, and temperatures near the surface will remain marginal. As a result, snow accumulations are not expected across Delmarva.
As the system progresses overnight, snow may mix with rain and eventually change to plain rain toward early Wednesday morning before ending.
While no measurable accumulation is anticipated, a brief coating on grassy or elevated surfaces cannot be completely ruled out. Any slick spots would be isolated and mainly confined to untreated surfaces late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning.
By Wednesday afternoon, the system will lift northeast of the region. Winds will shift to the southwest, allowing warmer air to move in. High temperatures are expected to climb into the 40s but still keeping the cloud cover around.
