The major winter storm could bring a foot of snow, but could also spell the end to a weeks-long cold spell that’s gripped the eastern U.S.
A rapidly strengthening nor'easter is expected to bring blizzard conditions to much of eastern New England and could blanket parts of the region in over a foot of snow on Saturday, ahead of what will likely be a major pattern change across the eastern U.S. that will break a weeks-long cold spell.
The system is expected to bring generally light snow to cities like Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia starting on Friday before the main part of the storm moves toward New York City Friday evening., for now, is expected to get at least 2 inches of snow Friday night into Saturday, though forecasters note conditions remain highly uncertain at this point and there is “potential for heavy snow” in the city.
Eastern New England, including Boston, is in the bull’s-eye for the biggest impacts, with heavy snow and high winds likely across the region, though forecasters haven’t nailed down where the most extreme impacts are expected given the storm’s uncertain path. Forecasters with Boston’s National Weather Service office noted one model shows a 60% to 70% chance of more than a foot of snow across southeast Massachusetts, which could also see coastal flooding and winds gusting up to 70 mph on Cape Cod.
