Powerful Storm Threatens East Coast Including Parts Unaccustomed to Heavy Snow
Forecasters warn of up to a foot of snow, hurricane-force coastal winds, and hazardous travel for more than 20 million residents from the Southeast to the Northeast.
- On January 30, 2026, the NWSWPC warned that forecasters are tracking a significant winter storm expected to hit the East Coast this weekend.
- Meteorologists attribute the storm's potential strength to an Arctic surge as prolonged Arctic air mass pushes temperatures well below seasonal norms and bombogenesis could rapidly intensify the coastal low.
- Forecasters say winter storm watches and warnings are active across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, with up to 1 foot of snow forecast in eastern Carolina counties and hurricane-force winds along the coast.
- Officials warn the prolonged cold has already caused many deaths and strains recovery as Tennessee Valley Authority crews deploy helicopters restoring power while tens of thousands remain without electricity.
- More than 20 million people could face hazardous conditions as forecasters say subfreezing weather will persist into February, extending risks beyond the Interstate 95 corridor cities.
