The First State is bracing for yet another winter storm.
National Weather Service meteorologist James Bunker says the storm will start ramping up Wednesday night just before midnight and snow will become heavy at times beginning early Thursday.
"Morning commute could be interesting and folks will need to make sure to take extra time and, if possible, check with their local media sources for road conditions," said Bunker.
AAA Mid-Atlantic urges Delawareans to wait for the roads to be plowed before venturing out.
The winter storm is also expected to bring strong winds, which could also affect visibility for anyone on the roads and create power outages by bringing down trees and power lines.
Bunker adds the latest forecast models project the new round of winter weather could dump up to 7 inches of snow in New Castle County.
Kent and Sussex counties meanwhile could see up to 4 inches of the white stuff.
Earlier forecasts called for a mixed bag of snow, sleet and rain, but Bunker says that while Ssleet and rain will mix with snow for a short period, the classic nor’easter is not expected to bring much in the way of ice accumulation.
"Right now there could be a potential brief change over but we're not looking for any accumulative ice. It could be a trace, but nothing accumulative. It looks to be more of a snow event,” said Bunker.
The further south and east you are, the more likely you are to see more sleet and rain with the snow.
