New Storm System Aims for Mid-Atlantic
28 Jan
Summary
- A new winter storm is forecast for the East Coast this weekend.
- The storm could bring gusty winds and impact coastal tides.
- Its strength and track remain uncertain, with snow or rain possible.
A new winter storm is forecast to rapidly develop off the Southeast Coast by Saturday, January 31, and then move along the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday, February 1. This system is expected to bring widespread gusty winds to millions still dealing with the aftermath of a recent large winter storm.
Meteorologists note that this developing storm won't be as massive as the one that recently impacted the country. However, its precise track and strength are still unclear. These factors will influence how it interacts with lingering frigid air over the eastern U.S., determining the potential for rain or snow. Regardless of precipitation type, the storm could stir up high tides along the coast.
