US EditionMost snow in years, blizzard conditions possible in parts of Southeast from powerful bomb cyclone
More than 28 million people face winter storm watches as the bomb cyclone brings 5 to 10 inches of snow, hurricane-force winds, and coastal flooding risks across the Southeast.
- Late Friday, a rapidly intensifying bomb cyclone will form off the North Carolina coast, with impacts starting into Saturday across the southern Appalachians, the Carolinas, and southern Virginia.
- Meteorologists say the system's rapid strengthening will pull very cold air southward, as a low-pressure system near the North Carolina coast undergoes bombogenesis late Friday.
- Cities including Raleigh and Norfolk face significant accumulation risks, with central and eastern North Carolina into southern Virginia forecast to receive 5 to 10 inches of snow, and Wilmington possibly seeing at least 3 inches.
- Powerful onshore winds could coincide with high tides late Saturday into Sunday, increasing flood and overwash risk; blizzard conditions may develop where strong winds meet heavy snow along the North Carolina Outer Banks and Virginia Tidewater region.
- Many communities remain strained after last weekend's deadly winter storm, and travel conditions could worsen into Sunday morning and early next week, with over 28 million people under watches and warnings.
