A Winter Storm Watch is now in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula, with heavy snow and gusty winds expected to create hazardous travel conditions from Sunday afternoon through Monday afternoon.
The National Weather Service issued the watch Thursday afternoon, warning that snow accumulations could exceed 5 inches across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties in Delaware, plus Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, and Caroline counties on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Wind gusts up to 35 mph could create blowing snow and reduced visibility.
“Travel could be very difficult,” meteorologists warn, noting that the storm’s timing could significantly impact both Monday morning and evening commutes. The heaviest snowfall is expected Sunday night into Monday morning.
Residents should prepare now by stocking up on essentials, checking emergency kits, and avoiding unnecessary travel during the storm. Those who must drive should keep extra supplies in their vehicles and allow extra time.
TV Delmarva meteorologists will continue monitoring this developing situation closely. The Winter Storm Watch remains in effect until 6:00 PM Monday, but conditions and timing could change as the storm approaches.
