CNN • • nation
Key Points:
- A powerful nor’easter is set to impact the Northeast, including major cities like New York City and Boston, bringing blizzard conditions, heavy snow, and strong winds starting Sunday.
- The storm will rapidly intensify into a bomb cyclone off the Eastern Seaboard, with the worst conditions expected Sunday night through Monday morning, causing dangerous travel and widespread closures.
- Snowfall totals could reach a foot or more, especially near and east of Interstate 95 from Philadelphia to Boston, marking New York City's first foot-plus snowstorm in over five years.
- Heavy, wet snow combined with gusts up to 55 mph along the coast may cause tree damage and power outages, while strong winds will drive coastal flooding similar to a hurricane storm surge.
