A historic March heat wave has shattered temperature records from California to the Eastern United States, with numerous cities posting all-time or monthly highs and more records anticipated as the week progresses.
Storms along the eastern half of the United States, compounded by disruptions from a partial government shutdown that left TSA screeners unpaid, led to more than 12,500 flights canceled or delayed as security lines stretched and major hubs ordered ground stops.
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.
CBS will broadcast The Late Show with Stephen Colbert live at 11:35 p.m. ET on February 24 to react to President Trump's State of the Union address, with East and Central time zones getting the live feed while West Coast viewers receive a taped broadcast (and clips may surface online).
A powerful winter storm has triggered blizzard warnings along the U.S. East Coast, bringing heavy snowfall, low visibility, and travel disruptions from New York to New Jersey as crews deploy plows and monitor for potential outages.
Forecasters are monitoring the potential formation of a bomb cyclone near the Delmarva Peninsula between Sunday and Monday. If it develops, a broad swath of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, from Washington, D.C. to Boston, could see accumulating snow and strong winds, leading to slippery roads and travel disruptions.
A deadly winter storm moving from the South into the East Coast has killed at least 85 people, caused widespread power outages and several states to declare emergencies, as heavy snow, blizzards and freezing temperatures grip the region from Tennessee and Mississippi to New York and North Carolina.
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.
A bomb cyclone sweeping up the East Coast is bringing heavy snow to the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia, along with strong winds and coastal flooding that threaten roads and beaches. The storm is triggering widespread travel disruptions, including flight cancellations, and has left hundreds of thousands without power as four states declare emergencies and crews brace for continued frigid conditions and slick travel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A powerful nor'easter is rapidly intensifying into a bomb cyclone and will hit the East Coast this weekend, bringing 3–6 inches of snow across the Carolinas and parts of the Southeast with potential >6 inches in spots, strong onshore winds (including 60–80 mph gusts along the Outer Banks) and a risk of moderate to major coastal flooding. Frigid temperatures and dangerous wind chills will accompany the system from the Southeast to New England, with snow possible in parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast and even a rare Gulf-of-Mexico–effect snow possibility in Florida as Arctic air sweeps south and the storm tracks into Atlantic Canada.
A new winter storm is expected to form off the Carolina coast this weekend and bring snow to parts of the East Coast, but its exact path is uncertain—a more offshore track would spare most areas, while a westward shift could bring significant snowfall to major cities; Arctic air will also keep temperatures unusually cold from the Ohio Valley to the Southeast, with some areas potentially reaching record lows.
