(Smyrna) The Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) stood down its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as of 12noon today, as the winter storm that blew its way through Delaware yesterday and this morning has moved out of the state, leaving behind minimal damage. Some areas of the coast are still experiencing flood conditions, and officials at the National Weather Service say that continuing strong winds and tides could cause flooding to continue until at least Saturday.

Weather forecasts continue to include winds at 15 to 20 MPH, with stronger gusts, especially along the shore.  More precipitation may occur but no accumulation of snow is expected. Temperatures will rise over the weekend with daytime highs in the 50s.  A Coastal Flood Warning remains in for Kent and Sussex Counties until 9am Friday.
