East Coast Braces for Another Winter Storm
27 Jan
Summary
- A new storm could bring snow, ice, or rain this weekend.
- Frigid Arctic air will persist across much of the country.
- Forecasters note significant uncertainty in storm's path.
The East Coast is facing the possibility of yet another winter storm by the weekend of January 31 and February 1. This potential storm system could bring a mix of snow, sleet, or rain to areas already impacted by recent winter weather. Frigid Arctic air is expected to remain entrenched across a wide swath of the country.
Meteorologists indicate significant uncertainty about the storm's precise track and the amount or type of precipitation it will bring. Early indications suggest that effects could begin as soon as Friday, January 30, along the Gulf Coast and East Coast. The storm's strengthening speed will be a key factor in its eventual path.
Rain is most likely south of Interstate 10 from Louisiana to Florida. Northward, snow could mix with rain across parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. As the system moves east, Florida could see rain, while the Carolinas may experience wintry weather.
