‘Bomb Cyclone’ To Wallop New England With A Blizzard—But Warmer Days Likely Ahead

A fast-growing nor'Easter is expected to bring a lot of snow to eastern New England on Saturday, and will likely be followed by a major pattern change across the eastern U.S. that will break a weeks- long period of calm.

Though the storm hasn't formed yet, computer models are consistently showing a rapidly strengthening low pressure system, which will develop in the Atlantic Ocean on Friday evening and race up the East Coast.

Light snow is expected to fall in Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia on Friday before the main part of the storm moves toward New York City.

New York City is expected to get at least two inches of snow Friday night into Saturday, though there is a chance of heavy snow in the city.

Eastern New England, including Boston, is in the bulls-eye for the biggest impacts, with heavy snow and high winds likely across the region, though forecasters haven't nailed down where the most extreme impacts are expected given the storm's uncertain path.

The National Weather Service office in Boston said one model shows a high chance of more than a foot of snow across southeast Massachusetts, which could cause coastal flooding and winds up to 70 mph on Cape Cod.

For those that have been following along, I know you have heard it repeated to death, but the key message remains the same: guidance is positive for a big storm, but the exact track remains uncertain.

It expects warmer-than-average conditions to take hold across most of the eastern U.S. by early next week. According to the Climate Prediction Center, the West Coast will flip what has been a warm pattern to cooler-than-average conditions. The upcoming pattern is similar to what the U.S. experienced in December, and is more in line with winter conditions typically observed during La Nia, a broader climate pattern that leads to warm weather in the East.

Florida and South Texas are bracing for a rare winter storm.

These States could be the hardest hit by a major winter storm.
