If Ocean City can dodge one more winter storm system, warmer temperatures are on the way by the end of the week.
Ocean City is not included in winter weather advisories posted for most of the state for Monday night (Feb. 17) through Tuesday morning.
An inch or two of snow is possible for the mainland with greater amounts toward Philadelphia from a system that will start as snow and turn to freezing rain before ending Tuesday morning.
The local forecast calls for snow turning to rain with less than a half inch of accumulation possible, if any.
High temperatures will hit 44 degrees on Tuesday and by Friday they will reach 56 degrees. Rain is expected to accompany Friday's warm weather. The sun returns for the weekend with more seasonal highs in the mid-40s.
Northeast and southeast winds at 15 to 20 knots (17 to 23 mph) with higher gusts will accompany the storm. The ocean water temperature is 35.8 degrees.
