“Hurricane-Force Blizzard” Could Hit Northeast Next Week, Weather Forecaster Warns

The weather forecast for next week paints an ominous picture for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, as Ryan Maue, a meteorologist and former NOAA chief scientist, is closely monitoring the development of a winter storm next Tuesday.

“Monitoring 7-day models for the development of a massive hurricane-force blizzard for the Northeast next Tuesday — and then extremely cold Arctic air behind it,” Maue wrote on social media platform X.

Big cities will probably avoid heavy snowfall (again) e.g. DC/NYC/Boston, but interior New England would get walloped. pic.twitter.com/d98GeJMKi6

He said the parade of storms won’t stop as the “Arctic blast configuration means more Nor’easters. Assuming that stays in place for 10 days, then another winter storm.”

I'd assume this pattern will break into the 3rd week of January, but who knows. pic.twitter.com/422H74PEWF
