A trio of weather systems have formed the ‘stormiest stretch of winter’ in the US this season, spanning coast to coast and blasting 40 US states and 200million people.
The first of a trifecta of storms hammered a 1,500-mile span of the East Coast on Tuesday with snow, rain and sleet and dumped over a foot of snow in parts of the Appalachian Mountains.
But a couple more storm systems threaten to pound the country this weekend and mid-next week.
‘The caboose in the storm train could be one of the strongest and most disruptive of the bunch before drier Arctic air reasserts itself,’ according to AccuWeather meteorologists.
A storm in the middle of this week is dumping heaving snow in the upper Midwest and northern part of the northeast.
By the time that dissipates, another storm is expected to affect the same area through the weekend.
‘There’s probably going to be a major storm next week, thanks to a strong injection of Arctic air over the northern Plains,’ said AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie.
‘The question is does that storm try to track up along the Atlantic coast or head more to the east, across the Southern states and then out to sea.’
