Forecast Models Are Predicting a Bomb Cyclone Off the East Coast This Weekend. Here Are the Scenarios
Meteorologists warn a strong nor’easter may bring snow, sleet, or rain to Boston and New England, following a storm that dropped over 20 inches along the coast.
- On the weekend of Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, the National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center warned a possible nor'easter could affect Boston, Massachusetts, and areas from the Carolinas to New England.
- Forecasters say a surface low forming off the Southeast coast Saturday could rapidly deepen into a bomb cyclone, as models show Arctic air interacting with the warmer ocean, strengthening 180% faster than bombogenesis.
- Communities remain vulnerable after the last storm, with more than 550,000 East Coasters without power Tuesday and at least 30 deaths amid severe cold, risking electricity-dependent households from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to New England.
- Coastal communities face some flooding at high tide this weekend and lingering impacts into Monday from the northern Outer Banks, North Carolina, to the New England coastline including Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
- The system would arrive on the heels of a massive winter storm that dumped more than 19 inches in Boston, Massachusetts, and model projections show a 100 or 200-mile track shift could change snowfall impacts across the eastern half of the U.S.
