A bomb cyclone could slam eastern U.S. on Saturday with wintry blast.
Strong winds to rock much of eastern U.S. amid plummeting temperatures, with possible blizzard conditions in interior Northeast.
Despite record highs in the 70s and 80s in the eastern United States on Monday, winter looks like it’s not over. A probable bomb cyclone will take shape along an Arctic front sweeping toward the East Coast late Friday into the weekend.
Temperatures will plummet as winds rage and, from the central Appalachians to the interior Northeast, significant snowfall is probable. Blizzard conditions could even develop in some areas.
Models have been coming into better agreement about the yet-to-develop storm, which will strengthen from a weak surface wave to a full-fledged cyclone as it moves up the Eastern Seaboard on Saturday. Wind gusts to at least 40 to 50 mph are possible in the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast.
A strong cold front, which could bring heavy rainfall, plummeting temperatures and thunderstorms in some areas, will precede the system.
The frigid air plunging south from Canada will cause temperatures to be 15 to 40 degrees colder than normal in the Rockies, the Plains and the Midwest by Friday morning; the Great Lakes, the Mississippi Valley and the South on Saturday morning; and the East Coast by Sunday morning. This translates to lows in the single digits in Minneapolis on Friday, in the teens in Detroit and Chicago on Saturday, and in the teens and 20s (single digits in the mountains) in much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Sunday.'>>>
