A winter storm will bring snow and rain to the East Coast, followed by a significant drop in temperatures early next week
Chicago: So, it looks like we’re in for quite a weather shake-up this weekend. After a little break from the cold, two winter storm systems are rolling in. They’re set to bring some snow and rain to the East Coast, starting this weekend and sticking around into next week.
Now, these storms aren’t going to be super intense. We’re not expecting blizzards or anything crazy. Instead, we’ll see light to moderate precipitation. In the Northeast, we might get about 1-3 inches of snow, while the Southeast could see similar amounts in rain.
Travel could get tricky, especially in places like North Carolina and Virginia, where they’re not used to dealing with snow and ice. The mid-Atlantic could face some icy mornings, making it tough to get around.
But the real story here is the cold. By early next week, temperatures could drop to near zero in cities like Chicago and Boston. That’s some serious chill!
As the weekend rolls on, the Southeast won’t escape the cold either. We’re talking about temperatures in the 20s reaching down to the Gulf Coast. It’s a wild swing from what we’ve seen recently.
So, keep an eye on the weather if you’re traveling. The first storm will bring some rain, especially along the I-95 corridor, while the second one could bring more snow, but still light accumulations.
Just remember, the exact path of these storms will determine who gets what. Major cities might miss out on the big snow totals, but areas that don’t usually see snow could still have some travel issues.
Overall, it’s going to be a chilly weekend, so bundle up and stay warm!
