The great folks at the NWS Office in Mount Holly seem concerned...understanding of course if no precipitation reaches till later as some models depict...no worries - but best to be safe in these situations. I suspect in higher spots like here in NW Chesco it will be a slow slog to get temps to get much above freezing....of note even if surface temps do warm to slightly above freezing ice accretion will continue when coming off so many hours of below freezing conditions
Unlike most warming winter precipitation events in our area, this
one will begin from the deep freeze. This means that the impacts of
freezing rain will likely be virtually immediate. Hazardous travel
may develop very quickly once precipitation begins, which will be
important to message for this event. Additionally, did expand the
advisory to New Castle County (despite lower confidence on icing
this far south), given the potential quick impacts to travel on the
I-95 corridor in northern Delaware should freezing rain occur.
