E2: Forecasting an atypical storm for January on Delmarva
Show Notes

When a winter forecast includes the threat for high winds and heavy rain it's usually the work of a coastal storm, like the typical nor'easters that wreak havoc along the coast this time of the year. But this latest storm was a far different event, one that unfolded to bring more of a tropical storm-like environment to Delmarva. In the hours leading up to the storm system's arrival, Chief Meteorologist Rich Wirdzek and Meteorologist Jake Grant discuss the forecast details behind the evolution of this atypical storm. Also, special guest Evan Adams from Dorchester county joins the podcast to talk about how coastal flooding plagues many parts of the bayside of Delmarva when strong storm systems move through.
