Good morning, Delmarva! Bundle up today because we’re tracking a significant winter weather event moving through our region.
This Sunday starts wet with steady rain through early afternoon, but don’t let that fool you – things are about to change quickly. Around 2 PM, we’ll see our first transition to a rain-snow mix, and by 3 PM, it’s all snow. Temperatures will hover near 39 degrees with gusty northeast winds up to 30 mph making it feel even colder. We’re looking at 1 to 3 inches of snow accumulation possible by evening.
Tonight brings the main event – heavy snow and blowing snow conditions as temperatures drop to 30 degrees. Visibility will be significantly reduced, so please avoid unnecessary travel.
Monday continues the winter weather story with heavy snow and blowing snow persisting, despite temperatures climbing slightly to 35 degrees. Monday night finally brings some relief from the heavy snow, though areas of blowing snow will linger as we plummet to a frigid 20 degrees.
Stay warm, stay safe, and keep those snow shovels handy, Delmarva!
