Atlas V Launch Could Shine Across the East Coast Sky

ULA’s Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, carrying the next batch of Amazon’s Leo satellites, is set to lift off at 8:52 p.m. ET on Monday, April 27, 2026. Weather and clouds willing, the brightness could be visible from most of Florida up the East Coast to New England, with sightings reported or projected for states including New Jersey, North Carolina, West Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee and Alabama on ULA’s visibility map. Florida Today will provide 90 minutes of prelaunch coverage at floridatoday.com/space, and viewers can watch via the Florida Today app or NASA+. Past Cape Canaveral launches have been seen well beyond Florida, highlighting the potential sky show for East Coast observers.

North Korea fires seventh ballistic missile this year off its east coast

North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles from the eastern Sinpo area toward the sea off its east coast, marking the seventh missile test this year. South Korea and Japan tracked the launches, with Seoul saying missiles likely fell beyond Japan’s EEZ and coordinating closely with the United States and Tokyo. The launches violate UN Security Council resolutions that Pyongyang rejects as infringements on its self-defence rights, and they come as the US and China prepare for a mid-May summit where North Korea is expected to feature in discussions. Kim Jong Un has asserted the irreversible path to a larger nuclear deterrent.

Midwest Snow Disrupts Travel as Severe Weather Expands Nationwide

A powerful storm system brings heavy snow to Minnesota and Wisconsin as part of a broader severe-weather outbreak from the Mississippi Valley to the East Coast Sunday into Monday, with travel disruptions and potential power outages. Sunday features a line of storms with a tornado risk in Memphis, Nashville, Indianapolis and Louisville (some areas like Memphis area and Columbus, GA facing about a 10% tornado risk), while Monday shifts the greatest threat further east toward Washington, D.C. Forecasters warn of damaging winds over 80 mph and large hail and urge preparedness with multiple warning methods as the system moves offshore.

Bomb cyclone blankets East Coast with heavy snow and brutal cold

A rapidly intensifying bomb cyclone is driving heavy snow, gusty winds and dangerous cold from the Southeast to the East Coast, affecting about 240 million people under winter advisories, with 6–12 inches possible in parts of the Carolinas and Georgia (and up to a foot in parts of North Carolina), along with widespread power outages and blizzard-like conditions as warming centers and National Guard support mobilize; authorities warn of frostbite and hypothermia risks amid frigid temperatures.

East Coast Braces for Bomb Cyclone: Snow, Winds, and Widespread Outages

Forecasters warn a bomb cyclone off the Southeast coast will unleash heavy snow, blizzard conditions, and dangerous winds across the East Coast, following a prior weekend storm that left millions without power; 6–12 inches are possible from the Carolinas to the Northeast, subfreezing temperatures linger into February, warming centers and National Guard aid are in place, and officials caution about frostbite and carbon-monoxide risks as more than 100 deaths have been linked to the cold.

East Coast braces for bomb cyclone: blizzards, floods and bitter cold

An intense nor’enaster is rapidly intensifying into a bomb cyclone off the Carolinas, bringing blizzard conditions, coastal flooding and a deep cold snap to about 35 million people along the Southeast and Eastern Seaboard, with the worst impacts expected in the Carolinas and southern Mid-Atlantic as frigid air spreads across a wide region and travel disruptions and power outages loom.

East Coast braced for bomb cyclone: heavy snow and fierce winds along the coast

A developing nor'easter off the Carolinas is expected to rapidly intensify into a bomb cyclone this weekend, bringing heavy snow to the Carolinas, Virginia, and the Mid-Atlantic (with inland totals around 5–8 inches and coastal areas potentially reaching 8–12 inches) and dangerous 60–70 mph onshore winds, along with coastal flooding and beach erosion. The storm is prompting airline travel waivers and emergency declarations from several states as forecasters warn of significant travel disruption and possible power outages across a wide swath of the East Coast, from Georgia to New England, with the heaviest impact along the coastal Carolinas and Virginia.

Arctic Chill Tests East Coast as Uncertain Coastal Storm Looms

Persistent Arctic air keeps the Northeast in subfreezing temps as forecasters monitor a developing coastal storm off the Carolinas that could bring significant wintry weather to the Southern Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic, with potential blizzard conditions and gusts near hurricane force. While forecast models diverge on the storm’s exact track, confidence is rising for coastal impacts and heavy snow in parts of the Southeast, with record-low temperatures expected in cities like New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and subfreezing conditions likely into early February; a rapid intensification (bomb cyclone) remains possible but not guaranteed.
