US EditionA Dangerous Winter Storm Will Hit the Us. It Is Likely to Unleash Ice and Snow From the Plains to the East Coast.
The storm, driven by the coldest Arctic air this season, threatens over 1,000 miles from Texas to the East Coast with heavy snow and dangerous ice, officials warn.
- Starting Friday, the Weather Prediction Center warned a major winter storm will bring heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain from Oklahoma and northern Texas to North Carolina and Virginia by Saturday night.
- Forecasters warn that an Arctic invasion will arrive Saturday in the Midwest and Plains, bringing the coldest air and interacting with Gulf moisture to fuel a potentially dangerous storm.
- Model guidance indicates a 70 to 80% chance most of the swath will get more than 4 inches of snow, with about a quarter inch of ice likely and quarter- to half-inch accumulations causing damage.
- Major travel disruption is expected on roads and at airports from the Southern and Central Plains to the East Coast, with significant icing risking power lines and utilities and frostbite possible in 10 minutes for people without power.
- Forecast uncertainty about the storm's track could affect snow and ice totals, portions of the South face highest icing risk, and more than 200 million Americans will see temperatures below 20 degrees Friday.
