Good morning, Delmarva! Bundle up because we’re dealing with a significant winter weather event today. Heavy snow and blowing snow will dominate our Monday, with the most intense conditions expected through mid-morning. We’ll see periods of heavy snow mixed with blowing and drifting snow as northwest winds howl at 15 to 25 mph, gusting up to 40 mph. Snow accumulations of 5 to 9 inches are possible by day’s end, so please avoid unnecessary travel and give yourself extra time if you must be on the roads.
Temperatures will struggle to reach 37 degrees despite the cloud cover. Tonight, those strong winds will gradually calm down, with areas of blowing snow tapering off and skies becoming mostly cloudy. We’ll drop to a chilly 22 degrees.
Tuesday brings much better news! We’ll see mostly sunny skies return with temperatures climbing to a more seasonable 35 degrees. However, another light snow chance arrives Tuesday night as clouds increase.
Stay safe out there, Delmarva, and keep those snow shovels handy! I’m tracking your forecast and will keep you updated.
