Two Major Winter Storms Set to Blanket U.S. with Snow and Ice

Millions face hazardous conditions as storms bring heavy snowfall, freezing rain, and Arctic air across the Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic.

The city was hit with the heaviest snowfall of the season overnight.

Overview

  • The first storm will impact the Midwest and East Coast between Monday and Wednesday, with up to 10 inches of snow forecast for areas like Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.
  • A second storm, expected midweek, will bring additional snow and ice from the Plains to New England, potentially worsening travel and road conditions.
  • Freezing rain and sleet are predicted in parts of the Mid-Atlantic, with a risk of ice accumulation causing hazardous travel and power disruptions.
  • Arctic air accompanying the storms will drive temperatures 10 to 40 degrees below average in areas like Montana and the Dakotas, with wind chills as low as -55°F.
  • New York City and Boston are expected to see light to moderate snowfall early in the week, with heavier precipitation possible later as the second storm moves through.
