WBOC 16 Weather

🥶 GOOD AFTERNOON DELMARVA!

It has been yet another cold day on the peninsula, with temperatures barely making it into the 30s, and a gusty northwest wind putting an additional chill in the air.

Some additional clouds this evening will keep overnight temperatures a *smidge* milder than the past few nights, but it's still going to be very cold.

Thursday will be sunny, but brace for stronger winds; we could see 35-45 mph gusts!

Coming up, I'll let you know if there is any end to this unseasonably cold weather, and have an update on some wintry weather looking more likely on Saturday on WBOC News at 4, 6, & 7 on WBOC, and at 5 on Fox 21.

See you then! 😎

Some extra clouds roll across Delmarva later this afternoon with maybe a few flurries as another Arctic blast arrives to Delmarva. Temperatures today will be in the 20s and 30s for highs. Be prepared for a bitter cold morning Thursday.

🥶 *COLD WEATHER ADVISORY*

A *Cold Weather Advisory* is again in effect for the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Overnight temperatures in the teens and a gusty northwest wind will cause wind chills to fall below 5°F in many areas.

Be sure to bundle up and protect any exposed skin if you have to be out late tonight or early tomorrow.

🥶 GOOD AFTERNOON DELMARVA!

After yesterday's wintry weather, it has been sunny, but cold and windy day today as our high temperatures only made it into the low to mid 30s, kept down by the combination of the gusty northwest winds and snow cover (which reflects the sun's heat energy back to space, instead of letting it absorb into the ground).

And the chilly, windy weather is here to stay for a while!

Lots of folks are talking about wintry weather yet again on Saturday.

Coming up, I'll show you how cold it will be, and what we do and don't know about Saturday's forecast on the WBOC News at 4, 6, & 7 on WBOC, and at 5 on Fox 21.

See you then! 😎

A windy day is ahead of us friends where we could see gusts to 40+ mph this afternoon. This will make our highs in the 20s and 30s for highs feel like the 10s. I am not expecting a lot of melt today and any melt we do have will refreeze tonight.

❄️ LATEST SNOW TOTALS...

Thank you to everyone who has shared snow totals in their neighborhoods!

As expected, we're still seeing the highest snow totals on the Maryland Midshore and in Delaware, where anywhere from 6 to 11 inches has fallen so far.

Please keep the reports coming! Also, please show the amount with a ruler in the snow.

And we want to hear from our friends on the Lower Eastern Shore and in Accomack County! Even though you saw lower totals, we want to see them! They help us check how accurate our forecast was so we can make improvements for the next winter weather event!

If you don't have to be on the roads today...please stay at home. Crews are working hard to keep things clear. If you are essential and have to be out, please allow lots of extra time.

Snow is coming down at a pretty good clip across most of the area this morning as the biggest winter storm since 2022 takes hold across Delmarva. We are on with the morning news through 7am with cut-ins all morning long. I will also be doing more Facebook Live streams and live updates every hour on some of our Draper Media radio stations.
