A dangerous cold snap is set to hit the US, with over 95 million Americans facing brutal temperatures. Arctic air will plunge south, bringing wind chills as low as -50 degrees in some areas.
The storm will also bring heavy snowfall to the East Coast, with New York City expecting 4 to 6 inches, Boston 4 to 6 inches, and Washington, D.C. 2 to 4 inches. The snow is expected to fall mostly on Sunday afternoon and evening, creating slippery road conditions.
Meanwhile, a second winter event will bring snow and ice to the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida beginning Monday night. Travel disruptions are likely, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, with potential power outages due to freezing rain.
Areas that rarely see snow, such as Houston and New Orleans, could experience measurable snowfall. Preparations should be made this weekend ahead of the storm.
