A developing storm system along the Eastern Seaboard could bring unsettled weather to the Delmarva region late Sunday into early Monday, though significant impacts appear less likely based on the latest forecast trends.

We continue to monitor an area of low pressure expected to track along the East Coast beginning Sunday and continuing into Monday. While uncertainty remains in the exact timing and track, most recent model guidance has shifted the system farther south and east. This trend would limit impacts across Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Temperatures leading into the weekend will be relatively mild for February standards. Highs Saturday are expected to reach the upper 30s to upper 40s across Delmarva. With that milder air mass in place, precipitation that does reach the region would most likely fall as rain, especially across southern Delaware and along the coast.
There remains a lower probability scenario in which the storm strengthens and tracks slightly farther north. In that case, some colder air could wrap into the system, allowing for a brief period of snow or a rain-snow mix, mainly across northern portions of the peninsula. However, this solution currently carries a lower likelihood compared to the prevailing forecast guidance.

At this time, precipitation chances late Sunday into early Monday range from about 30 to 60 percent across Delmarva, with the highest probabilities across southern Delaware. Farther north on the peninsula, precipitation chances are lower.
Residents should continue monitoring updates through the weekend as the track and strength of the system become clearer.
