"Eastern US Braces for Major Winter Storm Amid Forecast Uncertainty"

A developing nor'easter is set to impact the Northeast this weekend, with about 35 million Americans from Georgia to Maine under winter weather alerts. The storm could bring heavy snow, strong winds, and dangerous ice, with significant snowfall expected in the interior Northeast and New England, and potentially the largest snowfall in New York City in two years. The storm's development begins in the southern U.S. and will peak Saturday night into Sunday, with heavy snow forecasted from Pennsylvania to New England. Major cities along the I-95 corridor face an uncertain rain-snow line, while areas west are expected to receive all snow. The storm may also cause power outages and has already prompted concerns about freezing rain along the Appalachian Mountains.
