Bomb-Cyclone Aims at NYC as Northeast Faces Major Blizzard Warnings

A powerful nor'easter is set to intensify into a bomb cyclone off the East Coast, triggering blizzard warnings for millions from Delaware/New Jersey through New York City to southern New England. The storm could dump a foot or more of heavy, wet snow with gusts over 40 mph (potentially up to 55 mph) and cause major travel disruptions, airport delays, and possible power outages, along with coastal flooding along the coast. NYC will experience its first blizzard warning since 2017, as officials prepare for the worst Sunday night into Monday; forecasters note track uncertainties but expect significant impacts per NOAA’s Winter Storm Severity Index.
