Powerful storm to lash Eastern U.S. with severe weather, heavy rain and snow
A rapidly intensifying storm system is expected to cause severe thunderstorms, potential tornadoes, heavy rains, and strong winds across the Eastern United States this weekend. The system could also lead to moderate to heavy snowfall in parts of the Midwest and Great Lakes, with blizzard conditions and winds gusting over 40 mph possible. Major disruptions to air travel are likely, with the potential for cascading flight delays into the start of next week. The storm system will be fueled by contrasting temperatures, with readings 15 to 25 degrees above average in the East ahead of the storm, and then dropping 5 to 15 degrees below average in most spots afterward. Severe storms could also develop Sunday in the Southeast and even the Mid-Atlantic, though specifics remain uncertain.
