Summary

A new winter storm is developing and is expected to impact the East Coast starting Friday, bringing a mix of snow, rain, and strong winds. This system follows closely on the heels of a previous major storm that has already caused extensive damage and claimed at least 30 lives across various states. Fatalities include those found outdoors, carbon monoxide poisoning, hypothermia, and tragic accidents. Regions in the Deep South and mid-Atlantic, including areas not typically experiencing heavy snow, could see accumulations of six inches or more. Coastal areas might receive more rain due to warmer temperatures, potentially limiting snow buildup in cities like New York and Boston. Residents and travelers are advised to stay informed about weather alerts and prepare for potential travel disruptions throughout the weekend as the storm progresses northward.
