Further increases in confidence for an impactful winter storm are noted across the Carolinas with greater uncertainty still farther up the coast.
Take this storm seriously.
Moderate to major impacts are expected from the Central US through to the Northeast through the weekend.
- Hazardous to impossible driving conditions are expected. Avoid travel if at all possible.
- Widespread closures and disruption to infrastructure may also occur.
Wildfires can spread quickly — by the time one is nearby, you may not have much time. Have an evacuation plan, and prepare an emergency supply kit ahead of time. Listen to local officials for emergency information and any evacuation orders.
Unseasonable warmth is forecast across a large portion of the Lower 48 this week. High temps will soar to 30-40 degrees above normal, with some areas as much as 50 degrees above normal. Dozens of daily temp records could be broken.

I’d be very careful with posting snow maps for the weekend storm this far out.
There’s still significant uncertainty with the amplitude & progression of both SW US + north stream troughs, which drives both the event duration & how far north heavy snow expands into the Northeast.
A stunning satellite shot of a powerful nor'easter.
