Major Winter Storm Threatens East Coast with Potential Heavy Snowfall

New England and Mid-Atlantic Regions Brace for First Significant Snow in Nearly Two Years

NYC Could See Biggest Snowstorm in Years
The exact track of the storm system, along with the availability of cold air, will determine who sees snow or rain. A track more to the north would bring snow more inland. If the storm tracks over the red point highlighted here and enough cold air is in place, it could trigger more snow along the Northeast's I-95 corridor. A more southerly track would reduce snow chances altogether.

Overview

  • New England and the mid-Atlantic regions could experience their first significant winter storm in nearly two years this weekend, with the potential for heavy snowfall.
  • The storm is expected to move from the Pacific region through the Rockies and into the southern Plains before hitting the East Coast, potentially causing hazardous travel conditions due to slippery roads and reduced visibility.
  • Major cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C., which have seen limited snowfall since the 2022 winter season, could see their first substantial snow event in years.
  • The exact track and strength of the storm will determine the type and amount of precipitation, with the potential for a mix of snow, sleet, and rain.
  • Despite the potential for significant snowfall, there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the storm's path and intensity, and meteorologists advise residents to stay updated on the forecast.
