A potential nor'easter is likely to bring snow to the East Coast and strengthen into a bomb cyclone this weekend. What does that mean? FOX Weather Meteorologist Bayne Froney analyzes the storm, defines what 'bombogenesis' means and has the important information you need to know about the weekend's nor'easter forecast to slam the East Coast.

The storm is forecast to blow into town Saturday night and stay through Sunday. It could drop upwards of 3 inches on a region still digging out after more than a foot of snow fell on Sunday and Monday.

A “bomb cyclone” or bombogenesis is a weather pattern that describes intense winter storms that form — usually over the ocean — and rapidly build up deadly power. NYC is expected to see more snow and punishing wind chills this weekend as a bomb cyclone is expected to bear down on the metro area.New Yorkers should brace themselves for wind chills reaching into the single digits – and even below zero, AccuWeather meteorologists cautioned. “Regardless of the storm track, it will likely be a blustery day on Sunday, especially from the city on east and south,” AccuWeather senior meteorologist Matt Benz told The Post.'Foul' liquid that Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed with revealed: 'I had to throw up'Mercifully, however, the conditions are not expected to be as bad as the dangers Winter Storm Fern brought to the northeast last weekend.“Here in the City, snow can lead to slippery roads for Sunday,” Benz said. “Unless there is a major shift in the storm track to the west, we don’t expect travel conditions to be as dangerous as they were compared to last weekend here in the City. ”But weather will be worse east of the city on Long Island, where as much as 6 inches of snow could fall and white-out blizzards could overtake the north and south forks.– the freezing point is only forecast expected to be broken by a single degree next Thursday – nothing more than a few flurries are forecast for the foreseeable future.'Foul' liquid that Rep.
