How much snow are we getting? See the Delaware weather forecast for this weekend
How to safely shovel snow
The Mayo Clinic has some tips for safely shoveling snow.
Another weekend, another chance for snow in Delaware and the surrounding region.
Following a dusting of snow for some parts of our area, the weekend forecast for the First State likely will include some snowfall. But how much?
Here’s the latest outlook:
How much snow are we getting?
A storm could drop anywhere from a dusting to 4 inches of snow in Delaware from Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening.
Between 3 and 4 inches could fall in most of New Castle County with the southern portion currently projected to get 2 to 3 inches, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
Meanwhile, most of Kent County and the northern portion of Sussex County could see 1 to 2 inches with the Delaware beaches likely to get less than an inch, the weather service said.
As of Friday morning, here is the probability of 2 inches of snow in Delaware:
- Wilmington: 68%
- Dover: 41%
- Bethany Beach: 2%
During the storm, snowfall rates could exceed 1 inch per hour near and northwest of the I-95 corridor, they said.
Will it snow for the Eagles game?
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to take on the Los Angeles Rams in a divisional-round playoff matchup at 3 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. If the weather forecast holds, this will mean snow is likely to fall throughout the game, giving the Eagles a decisive weather advantage over the West Coast team.
Dangerously cold temps coming
Following the snow, temperatures will likely fall below freezing Sunday night and remain below freezing until at least Friday, according to the weather service. The coldest period will be Monday night through Thursday morning.
Throughout the week, high temperatures will be in the teens with lows in the single digits to below zero.
Night-time wind chills are projected to be below zero and recover into the single digits only during the daytime, the weather service said.
Here is the estimated minimum wind chills for next week:
- Wilmington: minus 8 degrees
- Dover: minus 9 degrees
- Bethany Beach: minus 6 degrees

A decommissioned Naval aircraft carrier will pass through the Delaware Bay Thursday
The ex-USS John F. Kennedy, a decommissioned U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, will travel down the Delaware Bay Thursday on its way to Texas for dismantling.
The ship left the Navy Yard in Philadelphia around 10 a.m. Thursday and is expected to reach the Delaware Bay around 1:30 p.m., roughly. Delawareans can best view it from Fox Point State Park or Battery Park in New Castle.
The John F. Kennedy, commissioned in 1968, was the first to be named for the 35th President of the United States and the last “conventionally powered” aircraft carrier built by the Navy, a Naval Sea Systems news release said.
The ship had 18 deployments during a period of escalating tension in the Middle East and North Africa, and often while under the surveillance of Soviet ships, the release said.
More recently, it was used for air security along the mid-Atlantic after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
In 2002, it was deployed in support of Operations Anaconda and Enduring Freedom, and in 2004, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the release said. Before being removed from service in 2007, the ship served as a training platform.
(This story has been updated to better reflect the time the ship is expected to arrive in Delaware.)
