Light Snow Possible Across Portions of Delmarva This Week

Residents across Delmarva should be aware of a couple of opportunities for light snow as we move through the week, with the first chance arriving Tuesday night into early Wednesday, followed by another potential round on Friday.

High pressure will remain in control along the Southeast coast through Tuesday before sliding offshore by Tuesday night. As this occurs, a broad upper-level trough will dig into the southern Plains and Gulf Coast states, while a closed mid-level low tracks across Ontario and Quebec. At the same time, a weak surface low moving out of the Midwest will approach the Mid-Atlantic late Tuesday.

Although this system will be moisture starved and relatively weak, strong upper-level energy combined with sufficiently cold air will allow an area of light snow to develop across the region Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. Most areas south of Interstate 78, including much of Delmarva, could see a coating to around one inch of snow. Localized totals slightly above an inch are possible, particularly across northern Delaware and portions of southern New Jersey. Areas north of Interstate 78 may see a few flurries, but little to no accumulation is expected.

Any snow from this system should taper off by Wednesday morning, with minimal impacts anticipated overall.

Looking ahead to Friday, another chance for snow may develop as a fast-moving clipper system approaches ahead of an Arctic front. While it is too early to determine exact impacts, this system could bring a brief period of light snow and possibly snow squalls to parts of the region late Friday or Friday night.

Forecast confidence and details will continue to be refined as these systems draw closer.
