Special Weather Statement | Delaware Weather

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Delaware Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th. That slick feeling under your tires this morning? That's black ice saying good morning. We've got a Special Weather Statement until 10 A.M. — patchy ice from overnight freezing, plus light precipitation making roads extra slippery. Leave early. Seriously. Northern Delaware gets the snow show from 6 to 11 A.M., heaviest around 7. Step outside right now and it feels like 26 degrees. Winds flip from south to southwest around 8 A.M. But here's the good news.. You climb to 47 degrees by 4 P.M. Central Delaware trades snow for rain. Falls from 6 A.M. To noon, peaks around 10. Winds gust to 15 miles an hour around 11 A.M. You hit 48 degrees by 4 P.M. Down south along the beaches, same rain timeline — 6 A.M. To noon, heaviest at 22 degrees. Highs top out at 45 degrees this afternoon. Tonight, skies clear statewide. Lows drop to 31 degrees north, 32 central, 35 along the coast. Thursday? Round two. Rain and snow likely, especially Dover south. Highs in the lower 40s. The week ahead brings a mixed bag. Friday starts sketchy with freezing rain possible, then clears to mostly sunny. Saturday is your winner — sunny and 53 degrees. Perfect. Then another system rolls in Monday with rain and snow chances. One bright spot.. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight today. Sunrise at 6:42 A.M., sunset at 5:50 P.M. Spring equinox is just three weeks out. Take it slow on those roads this morning. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
