Severe winter weather continues to wreak havoc across multiple states, leaving a trail of dangerous conditions and tragic consequences. The recent storms in New York have claimed lives and resulted in a harrowing incident where an American Airlines jet skidded off the runway in Rochester due to icy conditions. As the cold grip of winter persists, meteorologists predict even colder temperatures heading into the weekend.
Currently, arctic air is heavily concentrated in the northern plains; however, it is expected to spread southward and eastward in the coming days. This surge of cold air will contribute to the likelihood of snowfall. The radar image shows the current snowfall in cities such as Indianapolis and Cincinnati, which is extending into the mid-Atlantic region, including Washington D.C. and Baltimore. The snowfall is expected to progress further east, affecting states like New York and New Jersey throughout the day.
