Cities and towns across the East Coast are bracing for a severe winter storm, with forecasters issuing blizzard alerts from Maryland to Massachusetts. The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned that the storm, expected to intensify significantly on Sunday, could prove far more severe than initial projections suggested just days ago.
Blizzard warnings are in effect for major metropolitan areas, including New York City, Long Island, Boston, and coastal communities spanning New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The NWS predicts between 1 to 2 feet (30 to 61 centimeters) of snow in many areas, with potential for flooding in parts of New York and New Jersey.
