Parts of the Southeast and Eastern Seaboard are bracing for a powerful storm this weekend that will bring blizzard conditions and deep cold to coastal stretches of the region.
An intense nor’easter has already brought several inches of snow to the southern Appalachians on Saturday and is expected to become a dangerous bomb cyclone off the coast of North Carolina by Sunday morning. The storm will rapidly intensify Saturday night, strengthening at more than twice the rate needed to classify as meteorological bombogenesis. The worst of the storm is expected to hit the Carolinas and southern Mid Atlantic coast, but the storm will also usher frigid temperatures across a broad swath that includes areas still recovering from last weekend’s widespread and deadly tempest.
