Another snowy week expected for Delaware

Another week of snow is in Delaware's forecast, though there's little anticipation of the frigid temperatures that marked the state's last bout with winter weather. 

A low-pressure system is moving up the mid-Atlantic which could bring rain first and snowfall sometime after midnight, according to the National Weather Service Meteorologist Valerie Meola. Northern Delaware could see an inch, and the forecast calls for decreasing amounts farther south. 

Precipitation predicted with a 70-80 percent chance for Tuesday, could fall into the afternoon before drying out. High temperatures for Tuesday are expected to reach the mid-30s, Meola said. 

The next chance of snow comes Thursday, Meola said, when there's a 50-60 percent chance of precipitation. It's expected to begin as rain Thursday afternoon and turn to snow in the evening.

Meteorologists don't predict precipitation levels more than 72 hours out, but the high temperatures Thursday are expected to be in the mid-40s before cooling to the upper-20s or mid-30s at night.

Thursday evening snowfall may last into Friday afternoon, dependent on temperature, Meola said.

Sunday has a continued chance of precipitation, including more snow, Meola said.

The precipitation Monday into Tuesday may also cause light flooding.

Monday afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a Coastal Flood Advisory, which is in effect from 7 a.m. to noon Tuesday from the area of the Commodore Barry Bridge to the upper extremes of the Delaware Bay.

The advisory means that minor tidal flooding is expected. Minor tidal flooding often results in some road closures. Usually, the most vulnerable roadways will flood. 

High tide is expected to occur between 9 and 10 a.m.
