How much snow will we get? Here’s the Delaware weekend weather forecast as storm nears
Health tips for safely shoveling snow
The Mayo Clinic has provided several tips for shoveling snow this winter. 1/10/23
Damian Giletto, Wochit
Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted an early spring, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t snowy days yet to come in Delaware, including Saturday.
The National Weather Service announced that a fast-moving storm will produce a brief period of accumulating snow in the Northeast this weekend, with accumulating snow possible from a portion of the Central Plains into the Mid-Atlantic.
A swath of accumulating snow will spread from the Midwest into the Mid-Atlantic on Friday night. While a quick-moving low-pressure system sweeps across the south during the day before exiting into the western Atlantic at night, an area of light to moderate snowfall is expected to develop over the northern portion of this system, with 2 inches to 4 inches of snow expected to drop from eastern Missouri to southern New Jersey and Delaware.
The weather service cautions travelers that late-night commutes from Washington D.C. up to Philadelphia metro areas “could be dicey” on Friday evening.
What is the weather like in Delaware today?
Portions of central and northern Delaware and inland Sussex County are under a winter weather advisory from 10 p.m. on Friday to 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Snow may briefly become heavy late on Friday night before tapering off early on Saturday and is expected to accumulate between 2 inches and 5 inches in central and northern Delaware. Inland Sussex County is forecast to receive between 1 inch and 3 inches of snow
The National Weather Service warns drivers that roads will be slippery and urges travelers to slow down and use caution while driving. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be found out by calling 511.
Along with snow concerns, a gale warning is in effect until 10 a.m. on Friday for coastal waters from Cape May, New Jersey, to Cape Henlopen and from Cape Henlopen to Fenwick Island.
Northwest winds between 20 knots and 25 knots are expected, with gusts up to 35 knots and seas between 2 feet and 5 feet.
Delaware Bay waters north of East Point, New Jersey, to Slaughter Beach and Delaware Bay waters south of East Point, New Jersey, to Slaughter Beach also are under a gale warning until 10 a.m. on Friday. Northwest winds between 15 knots and 25 knots are expected, with gusts up to 35 knots and rough waters.
Strong winds for all areas under the gale warning will result in hazardous seas, potentially capsizing or damaging vessels and reducing visibility.
The National Weather Service advises mariners to alter plans to avoid these conditions by remaining in port, seeking safe harbor, altering course or securing their vessels for severe conditions.

Friday will become increasingly cloudy during the day as the high lingers near 43 degrees. Winds between 10 mph and 15 mph will be present, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Friday evening welcomes a 100% chance of snow, mainly after midnight, that could be heavy at times and result in 2 inches to 4 inches of accumulation. The low will be around 29 degrees with winds around 5 mph.
Saturday begins with a 60% chance of snow showers before 11 a.m., cloudy skies that gradually become mostly sunny and a high near 38 degrees.

Man shot and killed at park in Delaware County
COLLINGDALE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Police are investigating a shooting that left a man dead on Thursday night in Collingdale, Delaware County.
It happened around 11:15 p.m. at Collingdale Park near Jackson Avenue and Hibberd Avenue.
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer says investigators are working to provide closure for all involved.
“Obviously, it’s a tragedy for that family and the entire community. Police immediately contacted county detectives. We are on the case working hand in glove,” said Stollsteimer.
The district attorney’s office says investigators have a couple of ideas on what sparked the homicide, but there’s no concrete motive at this time.
“Hopefully we’ll be able to wrap this up and just bring some closure to that community,” said Stollsteimer.
Investigators say they have a person of interest.
Police have not identified the victim but say he’s in his 20s.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Collingdale police.

Police search for shoplifter who attacked Macy's loss prevention officer
WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) — Delaware State Police are looking for a shoplifting suspect accused of attacking a loss prevention officer inside the Macy’s at the Concord Mall in Wilmington.
Police released pictures of the woman still being sought. They said she took several items and tried to leave the store without paying.
A loss prevention officer tried to stop her, but authorities said she kicked him and implied she had a gun, even grabbing for her waist.
The woman was able to get away from the store.
Retail theft is a growing concern throughout the Philadelphia region.
On Friday, officers from Delaware and Chester County gathered for a retail theft training session.
“We are always better as law enforcement when we partner and we collaborate,” said Chester County District Attorney Chris de Barrena-Sarobe. “We have a lot of retail theft happening in Philadelphia and that is bleeding out into the counties.”
Delaware State Police haven’t identified the suspect who attacked the loss prevention officer and are looking for help from the public.
