1-2 inches of wet snow expected for Eastern Shore today

The vast majority of the Eastern Shore is expected to see 1-2 inches of wet snow fall Monday.

A Coastal Flood Warning is also in effect in Accomack County, while a Coastal Flood Advisory is in place for Northampton. One to two feet of inundation about ground level is expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. Roads and parking lots in low areas could flood today. Motorists are urged not to travel through waters of unknown depth or travel around barricades blocking these areas.
