A brewing winter storm could pack a punch for major cities across the East Coast this weekend, potentially ending some cities’ snowless streaks that have been in place for more than 700 days.
An area of low pressure is expected to form Friday near the Gulf Coast before tracking up the East Coast through the weekend, impacting states from Texas to Maine.
While several inches of rain is possible for parts of the Southeast, exact snow totals remain in question as the placement of this low-pressure system will be crucial for the forecast.
Up to 3 feet of snow is possible for parts of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California, and even more snow is possible for the higher elevations of the Cascades in Washington and Oregon.
