Markell arrived at a Delaware State Police troop in Rehoboth Beach early Friday to get an update on conditions after the storm prompted road and school closings throughout the southern Delmarva peninsula.
Markell also plans to visit the bridge over Indian River inlet, which was closed by high water. State Route 1 between Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach remain closed after water broke through the dunes.
Officials say a morning high tide could leave further flooding, but conditions are expected to improve later in the day.
Delmarva Power crews are working to restore power to about 1,000 customers, almost all of them in Sussex County.
