Winter Storm Chan to Bring Heavy Snow and Ice Across the Northeast
Back-to-back winter storms are sweeping across the Midwest and Great Lakes, setting the stage for another round of snow and ice early next week. After a weekend of steady accumulation, Winter Storm Chan is forecast to intensify as it tracks northeastward late Sunday into Monday.
Snow and Ice in the Midwest and Great Lakes
Meteorologists report that parts of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region are already seeing several inches of snow, with additional accumulations expected. Ice is also forming in areas where temperatures hover near freezing, creating dangerous travel conditions. Authorities are urging drivers to exercise caution and avoid nonessential travel.
Northeast to See Significant Impacts
As the storm system moves east, forecasters expect it to bring a combination of heavy wet snow and freezing rain to portions of Pennsylvania, New York, and New England. Some inland areas could see over half a foot of snow, while coastal regions may experience a wintry mix and wind gusts topping 40 mph. Power outages are possible due to ice buildup and falling branches.
Forecast and Safety Measures
According to the National Weather Service, the most intense snowfall will likely occur Monday evening through early Tuesday. Residents in affected zones are encouraged to monitor local forecasts, prepare emergency supplies, and stay updated on advisories.
“This storm has the potential to disrupt holiday travel across several major cities from Chicago to Boston,” meteorologist Brandon Miller said in a briefing.
Travelers are advised to check for delays and cancellations before departing, especially at major air hubs in the Northeast.
