[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Weather forecast models are all showing a bomb cyclone capable of bringing blizzard conditions to parts of the East Coast. But it's not clear where, or if, this storm will live up to that potential. The storm's track up the East Coast is unclear this far out, and just a couple hundred miles east or west could make the difference between snow measured in feet in major cities or just a cold, windy day along the coast. Either way, this won't be like the last storm. This one is only going to impact the East Coast. And this one's going to be all snow, so no crippling ice storm to worry about. The coastal Carolinas and Virginia are most likely to get very heavy snow, strong winds, and massive waves right now. But the big northeast cities need to watch this one very carefully as it evolves this week.

Summary

Forecast models indicate a potential bomb cyclone that could bring blizzard conditions to parts of the U.S. East Coast, but the exact track remains uncertain. A shift of a few hundred miles could mean major cities see snowfall measured in feet or simply experience cold, windy conditions. Unlike the previous storm, this event is expected to be confined to the East Coast and primarily produce snow rather than ice. Current guidance suggests the coastal Carolinas and Virginia are most likely to receive very heavy snow, strong winds, and large waves, while major Northeast cities should monitor forecasts closely as the system evolves during the week.
