A strong storm will develop along the east coast Sunday into Monday. This mornings models show wide range of outcome. Some snow is possible for Wilmington.

Will be watching another strong low develop off the east coast next Sunday. Hopefully it will trend out to sea to give our backs some rest. More later in the week.

Updated models show more precipitation, however the majority of this storm will be sleet and freezing rain. For northern DE expected 4-7” of snow, with maybe 1-3” more of sleet and a coating of freezing rain at the end late sunday.

My initial forecast for late Saturday into Monday. i may be a bit too low, but I worry about dry slotting during these types of storms as the energy transfers to the coastal low. Winter sto watches up for the whole area.

A weak system could bring some snow Sunday morning. Looks to be a 1-3” event at this time.

Even though the soon to be Imelda will not directly impact DE, we will see rough surf, rip currents, beach erosion, and tidal flooding due to a large pressure differential. These conditions could persist much of next week.

A tropical system will be named Imelda this weekend as it forms off the east coast. It will approach the US coast on Tuesday.
