3/2 Delaware Weather: Snow Starting 10 AM

Good morning. Delaware. I'm Aaron Jolly. That bright sunshine overhead? Don't let it fool you. We're locked in an Arctic deep freeze right now — 26 degrees at 7 A.M., about ten degrees colder than normal for early March. Your car doors are stiff. Your breath hangs in the air. Classic late-winter cold snap. In the next 24 hours. But here's where it gets interesting. High pressure slides offshore tonight, flipping our winds southeast. That pulls moisture our way. and light snow develops this afternoon. Northern Delaware sees mostly cloudy skies with just a slight chance of flurries mid-morning. You'll hit 36 degrees by afternoon, but wind chills feel like 30 degrees early on. Dress warmly for that morning walk. Central Delaware gets a better shot at snow between 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. Nothing heavy, just enough to dust the grass. Southern Delaware waits until after 1 P.M. For the best chance, with northeast winds gusting to 15 miles an hour along the coast. Tonight's when the real action arrives. Snow spreads statewide, then mixes with freezing rain late. Lows hover around 30 to 33 degrees. Tuesday morning's commute could be slick — give yourself extra time. By Tuesday afternoon, we flip to plain rain as temperatures climb into the mid-40s. Now here's your heads-up for the week. Wednesday jumps into the mid-50s to near 60. Thursday and Friday hit the 60s. By Sunday, northern Delaware could touch 70 degrees. That's a 35-degree swing in less than a week. Spring equinox is just 18 days away. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight daily — sunrise at 6:35 A.M., sunset at 5:56 P.M. Drive carefully if you're out Tuesday morning. Ice doesn't announce itself. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
