Residents in the Northeast and New England are bracing for a powerful nor’easter as this week kicks off. Two components will join forces in the coming days across New England, one element tracking across the Upper Midwest and into the interior Northeast and then the primary piece marching across the Southeast and off the Carolina coast before swinging northward and intensifying.
The leading feature will push northward along the mid-Atlantic coast late Sunday night into Tuesday, with the storm’s center deepening as it swings into coastal New England. AccuWeather forecasters say that this storm will have the potential to develop into what forecasters call a “bomb cyclone” and pack a punch in terms of damaging winds, snowfall amounts and coastal impacts.
