Winter Storm Watch Replaced for Northern Delaware Counties

Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 3:45 AM

The Winter Storm Watch for New Castle and Kent counties has been replaced by the National Weather Service, with residents advised to check for updated winter weather information.

The National Weather Service has replaced the Winter Storm Watch that was in effect for New Castle and Kent counties in northern Delaware early Saturday morning. The watch, which was issued for a developing winter weather situation, expired at 3:43 AM and has been superseded by updated information from NWS Mount Holly.

Residents in the affected areas should check the latest forecasts and any new warnings that may have been issued as weather conditions continue to evolve. The original watch covered New Castle County, home to Wilmington and Newark, as well as Kent County, which includes Dover.

Despite the watch being replaced, weather officials continue to urge caution for anyone who must travel during winter weather conditions. Drivers should keep emergency supplies in their vehicles, including an extra flashlight, food, and water. For the most current road conditions throughout Delaware, residents can dial 511.

TV Delmarva will continue monitoring the latest updates from the National Weather Service Mount Holly office and will provide immediate coverage of any new winter weather alerts affecting the Delmarva Peninsula. Stay tuned to TV Delmarva for the most up-to-date weather information.
