Local forecast for Monday, January 26, 2026. More weatherWBOC Morning Weather: January 26, 2026
Current Advisories: Cold Weather Advisory, Winter Storm Warning, Gale Warning
Listen to a Special Weather Statement from Meteorologist Bill Jacquemin
Updated 1/24/26 9:00am
Today (Saturday) will be bitter cold. We started off with a low of 10 degrees. The precipitation starts to fall this evening as a wintery mix moves across the region. Snow is expected to develop tonight, mainly after 10pm, and could be heavy at times. We should see about 2-4 inches by Sunday morning.
Sunday, the snow mixes with sleet in the morning, turning to heavier sleet in the afternoon, then rain by evening. An additional 1-3 inches of snow could be possible Sunday.
Sunday night is when things get tricky, as rain changes to freezing rain after midnight, with temps dropping into the mid-20s, we could see ice accumulations between a quarter and half-inch possible.
Monday morning, the freezing rain tapers off and we'll start to see sunny skies by the afternoon.
Pocomoke City and the Lower Shore are bracing for bitter cold this Saturday — with temperatures expected to plunge near 10°.
When it gets that cold, frozen pipes aren’t just “a possibility”… they’re a full-on plumbing ambush waiting to happen.
Frozen pipes can burst, flood your home, destroy drywall and flooring, and cause damage that’s expensive and stressful to repair. The good news? A few simple steps now can prevent a major disaster later.
Here’s what you should do before temperatures drop into the danger zone.
When water inside a pipe freezes, it expands. That pressure has to go somewhere — and it often results in a split pipe that bursts once thawed.
Pipes most at risk include:
Outdoor spigots / hose bibs
Pipes in crawlspaces
Plumbing in unheated garages
Water lines near exterior walls
Older homes with limited insulation
This is one of the easiest and most effective tricks.
A slow drip keeps water moving and lowers the chance of freezing.
- Best faucet to drip: one farthest from where your water line enters the house
- Keep both hot and cold running slightly if possible
- You’re aiming for a steady drip, not a stream
If your sink plumbing is against an exterior wall (common in older homes), open the cabinet doors to let warm air circulate around the pipes.
???? Bonus tip: If it’s really cold, place a small safe space heater nearby (never unattended).
If you haven’t done this already, do it today.
Disconnect garden hoses (seriously — don’t leave them attached)
Install insulated faucet covers (cheap and effective)
A hose left connected can trap water inside the spigot and freeze the line.
Crawlspaces, basements, garages, and attics can feel like Antarctica in temps like this.
You can use:
Foam pipe sleeves
Pipe wrap insulation
Heat tape (for trouble zones)
Even a little insulation helps.
Don’t turn the heat down too low overnight.
In cold snaps like this, your home needs consistent warmth to protect pipes.
- Keep your thermostat at least 55°–60°
- If you’re away, leave heat on (your pipes don’t care about your electric bill excuses)
If a pipe bursts, the fastest way to minimize damage is shutting off the water immediately.
Take 2 minutes today to locate:
Main shutoff valve
Water meter valve
Shutoff for outdoor lines (if you have one)
If you can’t find it… that’s your homework before Saturday.
If you suspect a pipe is frozen:
Signs include:
No water flow from faucet
Very low water pressure
Frost on visible pipes
Strange smells coming from drains
What you should do:
Keep faucet open (small flow if possible)
Apply gentle heat to the pipe:
Hair dryer
Heating pad
Warm towels
Do not use open flame (blowtorch = house fire speedrun)
If you can’t thaw it quickly or you see water leaking — call a plumber immediately.
Cold like this is no joke for plumbing — especially in older homes and houses with crawlspaces common across Delmarva.
Take 20 minutes today and knock out the basics:
- Drip faucets
- Open cabinets
- Insulate exposed pipes
- Cover outdoor spigots
- Find shutoff valve
Your future self will thank you when your living room doesn’t turn into a swimming pool.

You can’t control everything when it comes to health — but you can make choices that help lower your risk. When it comes to breast cancer, research shows that lifestyle plays a big part in prevention. So this October, as we “Think Pink,” it’s also a great time to think about the everyday habits that can help you stay healthy.
Physical activity is one of the most effective ways to reduce your breast cancer risk. Studies show that just 30 minutes a day, five days a week can make a difference.
You don’t have to be a marathon runner — walking your neighborhood, dancing in your kitchen, or joining a community yoga class all count. The goal is consistency, not perfection.
Your diet fuels your body’s defenses. Load up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and cut back on processed foods and sugary drinks.
Foods rich in antioxidants, like berries, leafy greens, and nuts, help protect cells from damage. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish (like salmon) may also have protective benefits.
And remember — it’s not about dieting. It’s about giving your body what it needs to stay strong.
Even small amounts of alcohol can increase breast cancer risk. The American Cancer Society recommends limiting to one drink per day or less.
If you enjoy social drinks, try swapping with sparkling water, mocktails, or herbal tea. Your body (and your mornings) will thank you.
Carrying extra body weight — especially after menopause — can raise your risk of breast cancer. Fat cells produce estrogen, and higher levels of estrogen have been linked to certain types of breast cancer.
Maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about numbers on a scale — it’s about balance, movement, and mindful eating.
Chronic stress affects your immune system and hormones. While stress alone doesn’t cause breast cancer, learning to manage it helps your overall health.
Meditation, journaling, or simply taking time away from screens can do wonders. Sometimes “no” is the healthiest word you can say.
Smoking is linked to several cancers — including breast cancer — and can make treatment less effective. If you smoke, talk to your doctor about support options. It’s never too late to quit.
Healthy habits go hand in hand with regular screenings. Mammograms, clinical exams, and self-checks all play a vital role in catching breast cancer early — when it’s most treatable.
If you live on the Shore, TidalHealth, Atlantic General Hospital, and the Dorchester County Health Department are offering mammogram events and wellness screenings throughout October. You can also find “Making Strides” walks in Salisbury, Easton, and Ocean City — great opportunities to get moving for a cause.
Small habits. Big impact.
You don’t have to overhaul your life — just take one healthy step at a time. Because every choice toward wellness is a choice toward prevention.
Stay tuned to B106 all month long for more tips, stories, and local events as we keep raising awareness, hope, and health together.
When it comes to breast cancer, early detection saves lives. One of the simplest ways to catch changes early is to know your normal — that means understanding what’s typical for your body so you can spot anything unusual.
While mammograms and regular checkups are essential, a monthly self-exam is a quick, empowering habit that can make a huge difference.
Start by standing in front of a mirror with your shoulders straight and your hands on your hips. Take a good look at your breasts. You’re checking for any changes in:
Shape or size
Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin
Redness, rash, or swelling
Changes in the nipple (like inversion or discharge)
Then, raise your arms and check again. You’re looking for anything that seems off or asymmetrical — something that wasn’t there before.
Lie down and use your right hand to feel your left breast, and vice versa. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few fingers of your hand, keeping them flat and together.
Move in small circular motions, about the size of a quarter, covering the entire breast from top to bottom and side to side — from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your cleavage.
You can move your fingers in:
A circular pattern from the outside toward the nipple
Vertical lines up and down (like mowing the lawn) — this method is often easiest for many people.
Then, repeat the process while standing or sitting — many people find it easiest in the shower, when skin is slick.
Breasts naturally feel different from person to person. Lumpy areas, firmness, or tenderness can all be normal — especially during certain times in your cycle.
The key is noticing what’s new or unusual for you.
Call your doctor if you notice:
A lump or thickened area that feels different from the rest
Swelling or pain in one spot
Skin irritation or dimpling
Nipple changes or discharge (that isn’t breast milk)
It doesn’t always mean cancer — but it always means it’s worth checking out.
Set a monthly reminder — same time every month — to do your self-exam. It takes less than five minutes and could save your life.
And if you’re 40 or older (or have a family history of breast cancer), talk to your doctor about when to start mammograms and how often you should get them.
Throughout October, TidalHealth’s Mobile Mammogram Unit is visiting communities across the Shore, including Salisbury, Cambridge, and Pocomoke City. To schedule an appointment, call 410-543-7006 or visit tidalhealth.org/pink for the full schedule.
Because when you know your normal, you give yourself the best chance to stay healthy — and that’s something to feel good about.
Every October, the color pink takes over. From ribbons and T-shirts to football fields and city skylines, pink becomes a symbol of hope, courage, and unity. But beyond the color and the campaigns, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is about something much deeper — saving lives through early detection, education, and support.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month began in 1985 as a partnership between the American Cancer Society and a major pharmaceutical company. Their goal was simple: encourage women to get regular mammograms. Nearly four decades later, it’s grown into a worldwide movement that shines a light on prevention, treatment, and survivorship.
The pink ribbon — now the most recognized symbol of breast cancer awareness — was first introduced in the early ’90s. It started as a grassroots idea and quickly became a global badge of solidarity. Today, it represents hope for those in the fight and remembrance for those we’ve lost.
Despite advances in research and treatment, breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide. Awareness isn’t just about fundraising — it’s about education. It’s about reminding everyone, women and men, to know their bodies, schedule screenings, and speak with their doctors about risk factors.
Early detection can make all the difference. According to the American Cancer Society, when breast cancer is found early and is still localized, the survival rate is over 99%. That’s the power of awareness.
There are plenty of ways to show your support — big or small:
Wear pink and spark a conversation about why it matters.
Schedule a mammogram or remind a friend to.
Donate to a local or national breast cancer organization.
Attend a walk or fundraiser in your community.
Share survivor stories that inspire others to take action.
If you live here on the Shore, you can join the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk in Salisbury on October 20, or visit TidalHealth’s mobile mammogram unit, which will be offering screening events across Wicomico, Worcester, and Dorchester counties throughout the month.
The show is THIS Saturday at 8pm at Maryland Hall in Annapolis. Get tickets and more information here.
Al Jardine, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, is best known for being one of the founding members of The Beach Boys. After his family moved to Hawthorne, California, in the mid-50’s, Al met Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson and Mike Love, to form the band in 1961. Al played guitar, arranged and produced many songs and sang lead on the No. 1 hit "Help Me, Rhonda." In 1988, Al was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Beach Boys and in 2001, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy. In 2005, Al released Sloop John B: A Pirate’s Tale, a fun-filled adventure children’s book based on the classic folk song (and Beach Boys hit) of the same name.
Al released his first studio album, A Postcard from California, in 2010, which was re-released to a worldwide audience in 2022 from Universal Music. Throughout the last decade and a half, Al has continuously toured with Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys (on their 50th Anniversary Tour) and on his own with his Endless Summer Band. With a new EP called Islands In The Sun (May 2025), Al Jardine continues to produce new music on his own that captures the spirit and vibe of The Beach Boys’ biggest hits.
In 2025, Al Jardine reformed the incredibly-talented and seasoned members of Brian Wilson’s touring band for many years as The Pet Sounds Band. This new show includes The Beach Boys’ greatest hits like “California Girls,” ”Help Me Rhonda,” “I Get Around,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Sloop John B,” “Surfin’ USA” and “Fun, Fun, Fun” as well as radio singles and fan favorites from The Beach Boys’ critically-acclaimed 70’s albums like 15 Big Ones, The Beach Boys Love You and the M.I.U. Album, which was produced by Al in 1978. The Pet Sounds Band also features Al’s son Matt Jardine, a star in his own right who has performed with The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson for decades and has received rave reviews for his youthful Brian Wilson-like vocals on classics such as “Good Vibrations,” “God Only Knows,” “Don’t Worry Baby” and “Surf’s Up.”
Delivering an experience that carries on in the tradition of Brian Wilson’s Pet Sounds shows and The Beach Boys’ fun fun fun spirit, Al Jardine and The Pet Sounds Band will be performing the classic hits, rarities and deep cuts in a concert not-to-be-missed and promises to keep the good vibes and beautiful harmonies of The Beach Boys’ timeless music alive for many more years.
Surf’s up!
If you’ve ever daydreamed about winning a car by correctly guessing the price of a box of Rice-A-Roni, you’ve got The Price Is Right to thank. This Thursday marks the anniversary of America’s longest-running game show—part TV tradition, part cultural phenomenon, and all kinds of quirky fun.
The Price Is Right first hit television screens in 1956 with host Bill Cullen, but the version we know best premiered on September 4, 1972, with Bob Barker. Barker’s signature catchphrase, “Help control the pet population—have your pets spayed or neutered,” became as iconic as the Showcase Showdown itself.
After Barker retired in 2007, comedian Drew Carey took over. While Carey’s laid-back style is different from Barker’s sharp delivery, the essence of the show hasn’t changed: regular folks from the studio audience get the chance to “Come on down!” and play games for fabulous prizes.
WATCH Price is Right from November 27, 1956.
Closest without going over: Unlike poker or blackjack, where “busting” means losing all your money, here it just means you guessed too high on a toaster oven.
The Big Wheel: Contestants spin a giant wheel aiming for $1.00 in one or two spins. It looks simple, but it’s spawned conspiracy theories about whether heavy spinning helps or hurts.
Showcase Showdown: The final round pits two contestants against each other, guessing the value of prize packages that look suspiciously like a dream vacation crossed with a home shopping spree. Whoever gets closest without going over takes it all.
Unusual Prizes: Sure, there are cars, cash, and trips—but the show has also given away goats, hot tubs shaped like champagne glasses, and a literal horse.
Why has the show lasted so long? It’s part carnival game, part shopping spree, and part human theater. Watching contestants freak out over a $500 dishwasher—or crumble under the pressure of the Cliffhanger yodeling guy—never gets old.
Plus, it’s the rare game show where you don’t need trivia knowledge, puzzle-solving skills, or a Mensa membership. All you need is an eye for retail prices… and maybe a lucky T-shirt.
A contestant once guessed exactly right in the Showcase: $23,743. He later admitted to using price-tracking notes from dedicated fans.
Bob Barker’s microphone was famously long and skinny, mostly to make him less of a distraction from the contestants.
There’s an actual fan group called the “Tappers” who study the show’s prize patterns like Wall Street analysts.
Whether you’ve been a fan since the Bob Barker days or just tune in for Drew Carey’s jokes, The Price Is Right remains a shining example of how game shows can mix excitement, absurdity, and everyday items into pure entertainment.
So, today, maybe toss out a casual “Come on down!” at the office. Who knows—you might get a free lunch out of it.
Who knew resolving workplace drama could be as simple as ‘Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!’? Forget HR—just bring your reflexes and a sense of humor.
A timeless, ultra-portable showdown: no batteries, no batteries—just two hands, split-second decisions, and a clear winner. You can settle everything from deciding who buys lunch to who gets the prime parking spot. It’s democracy, but finger-style.
Mark your calendars—World Rock Paper Scissors Day lands every year on August?27. Established by the World Rock Paper Scissors Association (WRPSA) around 2015, it's your excuse to throw down in the office, classroom, or backyard. Think mini?tournaments, snack prizes, office bragging rights, and absolutely no board needed
Yes—elite players exist. The World Rock Paper Scissors Association (WRPSA) runs tournaments around the globe—national, collegiate, junior, even world championships. These events stick to the traditional three-move format, with best-of?3 or best-of?5 matches and certified refs to keep the mayhem orderly
Throwback to the mid?2000s, the USA had its very own Rock Paper Scissors League, backed by Bud Light. One championship in Las Vegas awarded a cool $50,000 to the winner, and it even got airtime on A&E and ESPN2
Bonus: there's even a quirky mockumentary called The Flying Scissors, which parodies the fanaticism around a fictional RPS league—because yes, it’s real enough to make fun of
This isn’t total luck—veterans read tells and patterns. Wired reports that predictable patterns—like repeating the same move three times—can give you a leg up. Guys tend to open with rock, women lean toward scissors. Fest the “Jedi mind-trick”? It’s a thing
Yaky?ken: A Japanese performance-style RPS where players engage in a chant-filled, theatrical showdown—and sometimes remove clothing if they lose. (Not exactly schoolyard friendly.)
Muk-jji-ppa: A Korean variation where the winner stays on offense and the goal flips: mirror the opponent to win. Fast, rhythmic, and a twisty evolution of the classic.
Kids are headed back to school and we want to send them well wishes. Record a message to your kids, or grandkids and we'll play it back on the radio HERE!
From our friends at WMDT:
Due to the approach of Hurricane Erin, the following closures are in effect on Assateague Island-effective immediately:
This is a fluid situation, and it is impossible to predict when things will reopen. There is also the possibility of more closures in the next few days, as wind speeds and tidal surge caused by the passage of Erin are difficult to predict and coincide with a very high tide cycle.
Check nps.gov/ASIS and Assateague National Seashore and Assateague State Park Social media sites for updates.
For general information about the Seashore and park activities access the park’s web site at www.nps.gov/asis or call 410-641-1441.

Before Netflix, Redbox, and even Blockbuster… there were drive-in theaters. A night under the stars, a bucket of buttery popcorn, and your favorite date or your whole family packed in the back of a station wagon—it was a Delmarva summer tradition.
Let’s take a cruise down memory lane and revisit some of the most beloved drive-in theaters that once dotted the Delmarva Peninsula.
One of the most iconic on the Shore, the Capitol Drive-In lit up summer nights from the 1950s through the early '80s. Locals remember catching double features, often with a cartoon and intermission reel full of dancing hot dogs.
Confirmed location about 3 miles west of Ocean City on Route?50, with a capacity of around 500 cars. It operated from 1954 until about 1976. Today it's abandoned woodland, but locals have recently started restoring its iconic sign. There’s even a YouTube video exploring the old site
Known for its jumbo screen and classic concession stand, this spot was the go-to for Sussex County residents looking for affordable entertainment. If you were lucky, you'd catch a beach party flick or a sci-fi thriller.
The Dover Drive-In served up first-run hits and cult classics from the '60s into the late '80s. It was more than just a movie—it was a hangout. Teens parked their muscle cars, families brought lawn chairs, and transistor radios blared the soundtracks of the era.
Drive-ins weren’t just about movies—they were about community and connection. Parents in pajamas loaded sleepy kids into the car. Teens shared milkshakes, first kisses, and maybe a few sneaky flasks. You’d hear B106 hits on the radio and smell French fries from the snack bar.
And let’s not forget the glow of fireflies and the occasional sound of crickets blending with the dialogue of a classic flick.
Did you go to the drive-in on your first date? Do you still have a ticket stub tucked in an old wallet?
Share your drive-in memories with us!
Share below and we might feature your memories on the air!

As we gear up for summer fun across the Delmarva beaches, ballfields, and backyard barbecues, it’s time for a friendly reminder that today is National Sunscreen Day—a perfect moment to spotlight one of the most important (but often overlooked) steps in your daily routine: sun protection.
The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can do a number on your skin—even on cloudy days or when you’re indoors near windows. Prolonged exposure can lead to:
Premature aging (think wrinkles and sun spots),
Sunburns that damage your skin’s DNA, and
Increased risk of skin cancer, including melanoma.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, regular use of SPF 15 or higher sunscreen can reduce your risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by about 40% and melanoma by 50%.
Using sunscreen isn’t just about slapping some on at the beach. Here's how to make sure you're doing it right:
Apply Generously – Adults need about one ounce (a shot glass full) to cover the entire body.
Apply Early – Put it on 15-30 minutes before going outdoors.
Reapply Often – Every two hours, or more frequently if you’re swimming or sweating.
Don’t Skip the Spots – Ears, lips, the back of your neck, tops of feet, and even the scalp if you’re bald or have thin hair.
There’s a dizzying array of sunscreens on the shelf, but here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose:
Mineral sunscreens (with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. Great for sensitive skin and kids.
Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them to heat. These often feel lighter and more invisible on the skin.
SPF 30 is the minimum recommended. It blocks about 97% of UVB rays.
SPF 50+ offers slightly more protection, but no sunscreen blocks 100% of rays.
Make sure your sunscreen says “broad spectrum”—this means it protects against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.
Ideal if you're hitting the pool or sweating it out on the boardwalk. But remember: “water-resistant” doesn’t mean waterproof!
Whether you're catching rays in Ocean City, hiking the trails in Pocomoke Forest, or strolling through Easton’s historic downtown, make sunscreen part of your daily routine—just like brushing your teeth. Keep a bottle in your car, beach bag, and by the front door so it’s always within reach.
So this National Sunscreen Day, let’s raise a (sun-safe) glass to healthy skin, smart habits, and long, happy days under the Delmarva sun. Don’t forget: Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat, and wrap on some shades!
Stay safe, stay golden.
Before we had entire seasons at our fingertips and could yell “next episode!” at our screens like TV royalty, we had… dial-up. And DVDs. And waiting a whole week for the next episode. But that all changed when streaming hit the scene — and every May 20th, we celebrate National Streaming Day, a nod to how far we’ve come from fuzzy signals and spinning discs.
The roots of National Streaming Day go back to 2014, when Roku created the unofficial holiday to celebrate the joy of on-demand content. But streaming itself started much earlier. Back in the mid-1990s, when the internet was still a toddler, RealNetworks debuted one of the first streaming audio services. In 1995, a baseball game between the Yankees and the Mariners became the first ever live stream.
It wasn’t exactly HD.
Fast-forward to 2007 — game-changer alert: Netflix launched its streaming platform. What started as a DVD-by-mail service turned into a digital juggernaut, making it possible to watch “The Office” 57 times in a row without leaving your couch.
Then came Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube — the early streaming Avengers. Suddenly, “cutting the cord” wasn’t just a catchy phrase. It was a lifestyle.
By the 2010s, everyone wanted in. Disney+ took over family-friendly content (and Star Wars), HBO Max brought premium TV into the mix, and Apple TV+ reminded us that even tech giants want to win Emmys.
From niche services like Crunchyroll (for anime fans) to genre-benders like Peacock and Paramount+, there's now something for everyone — whether you're into prestige drama, reality chaos, or true crime rabbit holes.
Even live TV and sports joined the streaming revolution. Sling, YouTube TV, and Fubo are now go-to choices for cord-cutters who still want live action. And let’s not forget Twitch, where millions tune in not to watch shows — but to watch other people play video games.
So where do we go from here? Here's what we might see in the next wave:
Interactive content like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch — where you control the story
AI-curated shows based on your exact mood, day of the week, or snack preference (probably)
Live shopping and virtual concerts streamed straight into your living room
Consolidation wars — will we end up with fewer apps or an all-in-one mega-platform?
And don’t be surprised if someday your favorite show isn’t made by a studio — but by your neighbor, using AI and a green screen.
Today’s the perfect day to:
Start that series everyone’s talking about (yes, finally)
Rewatch an old favorite
Explore a platform you’ve never tried before
Reminisce about the days of buffering wheels and pixelated images
Streaming changed the way we watch, connect, and tell stories. So grab the remote (or just your phone), press play, and celebrate how far we’ve come — one episode at a time.
Happy Streaming!
