Northern areas may see icy roads Friday

Say goodbye to this week’s taste of spring, Delaware — winter weather is making a comeback Friday morning.

Statewide temperatures will drop to the 30s Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service. Couple that with a high chance of rain, and you have a recipe for icy roads Friday morning.

This winter weather advisory is primarily for New Castle County, meteorologist Jonathan O’Brien said. The rain likely won’t freeze in Kent and Sussex Counties, O’Brien said, so there won’t be much of an impact.

Most of the rain is predicted to fall after 8 p.m., the National Weather Service predicted, and should taper off by noon on Friday. Temperatures should return to the high 40s and low 50s later in the day, likely melting any ice on the roads by the evening commute.
