Our attention is on our winter storm event for Sunday through Monday. This one already has a lot more agreement then what we saw with the storm this last weekend. There are still a few things that we will need to iron out as we continue to get closer to the arrival of the storm. At the moment, it looks like the storm sneaks into a pocket where the storm is going to be allowed to move a little farther north and will introduce the idea that we will need to consider a period of sleet and rain mixing with the snow for some of us during the duration of the storm. It will wrap up as snow with much colder air spilling in behind the storm heading into next week. We are still looking for a significant snowfall before our transition to the wintry mess. Most of Delmarva is looking more and more likely to get 6-12” of snow before the transition begins with some folks across northern Delmarva seeing over a foot of snow before the ice transition. A significant ice event is possible for parts of the Mid-shore and northern Delmarva where we are forecasting ice accumulations over 0.50” possible with some areas picking up on 1-3” of sleet on top of the snow we will see in the first part of the day. As the storm departs, it will drag much colder air into the area and will allow everyone to change over to a brief period of light snow again before the moisture departs on Monday morning.
The Arctic air that comes in behind this storm will settle and stick around for a few days with temperatures in the 20s and low 30s for much of next week. There are also hints that we might be doing all this winter storm forecasting again for the following weekend.
