Two Chances for Light Snow This Week Across Delmarva; Sneaky Overachiever

Delmarva has a couple chances for light snow this week, with the first arriving tonight and the second coming late in the week.

Delmarva has a couple chances for light snow this week, with the first arriving tonight and the second coming late in the week. While neither system looks particularly strong, there are a few details worth watching, especially for parts of central Delmarva.

The first round of snow moves in late Tuesday night and continues into early Wednesday morning. High pressure along the Southeast coast will slide offshore tonight, allowing a weak weather system to move into the Mid-Atlantic. This system does not have a lot of moisture to work with, which will keep snowfall totals limited for most areas.

For much of Delmarva, snow amounts are expected to range from just a coating to around an inch by Wednesday morning. Snow should end around or shortly after daybreak, leading to minimal impacts for the Wednesday commute.

That said, there is a small wildcard with this system. Some high-resolution model guidance suggests that if the two pieces of energy involved with this storm come together a bit more efficiently, a narrow band of heavier snow could develop. If that happens, parts of central Delmarva could see higher totals, with localized amounts approaching three inches. Confidence in this scenario remains low, but it is something we will be keeping a close eye on overnight.

Looking ahead to Friday, another chance for snow arrives as a fast-moving clipper system passes to our north. An Arctic front will sweep through the region, bringing the potential for a brief burst of snow or even a few snow squalls. It is still too early to lock in exact timing or amounts, but any snow on Friday would likely be light and short-lived.

Overall, impacts this week appear limited, but changing conditions overnight tonight and again on Friday could briefly affect travel. Stay tuned for updates as we refine the forecast and track any potential changes.
