Takeaways:
• A potential nor’easter is expected to hit the Northeast next week, bringing a sharp change from record February warmth to heavy rains, gusty winds, and plowable snow.
• The storm is forecasted to arrive late Monday, with temperatures dropping close to or below freezing, causing a rain-to-snow changeover that will persist.
• Moderate-to-heavy snow is anticipated from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts through Tuesday, with major cities like New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Hartford, Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh potentially seeing significant accumulations.
• The storm’s strength and track will be crucial in determining snowfall amounts and impacts, with gusty winds up to 30-40 mph possibly causing travel disruptions and coastal beach erosion.
• The system will also affect areas from the Southern Plains into the Ohio Valley Sunday into Monday, although accumulating snow may be limited due to ground temperatures at or above freezing.
