Bomb cyclone set to bring heavy snow, hurricane-strength winds to Southeast this weekend

A rapidly intensifying storm off the Southeast coast is forecast to become a bomb cyclone this weekend, delivering 5–10 inches of snow to parts of the southern Appalachians, the Carolinas, and southern Virginia, with the heaviest totals likely in central/eastern North Carolina and into Virginia. Gusts near the coast could reach 75 mph, raising the risk of blizzard conditions where snow and wind converge and causing coastal flooding during high tides. More than 28 million people are under winter storm watches/warnings as the storm tracks north Friday night into Saturday, with travel disruptions and power outages likely; if it tracks closer to shore, snow and wind could also affect coastal New England later in the weekend.

Tropical Storm Imelda's Path Shifts as Multiple Storms Approach Southeast

Tropical Depression Nine is expected to become Tropical Storm Imelda, with a less threatening path away from the Southeast coast, though impacts like rain and wind are still anticipated, especially in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Meanwhile, Hurricane Humberto has intensified to a Category 4, posing no direct threat to the US but potentially affecting Bermuda and the Bahamas. Authorities are preparing for possible storm impacts, and residents are advised to stay alert as forecasts may still change.

Multiple Fireball Sightings Reported Across Southeastern U.S.

A bright fireball was observed streaking across the skies of the Southeast US, particularly in South Carolina, with initial indications suggesting it was a meteorite. Multiple videos and reports from viewers in South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee captured the event, and satellite data from NOAA supported the sightings, although confirmation of the meteorite nature remains pending.

"Emerging Threat: Parasitic Brain Worm Spreading in Southeastern US"

"Emerging Threat: Parasitic Brain Worm Spreading in Southeastern US"

Scientists are warning that a parasitic brain worm called rat lungworm, typically found in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, has been identified in states around the Southeast US, including Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia. The parasite can infect humans through contaminated produce, but cannot reproduce in the human body. While most people recover fully without treatment, severe symptoms can occur. To prevent infection, individuals are advised to avoid eating raw or undercooked snails, slugs, frogs, or shrimp, and to thoroughly wash fresh produce.

Emerging Rat-Borne Brain Parasite Spreads in Southeast US

Emerging Rat-Borne Brain Parasite Spreads in Southeast US

A study conducted in Atlanta suggests that the rat lungworm, a parasite that typically infects rats and slugs but can also invade human brains, has firmly established itself in the Southeast US and is likely to continue spreading. The study found evidence of rat lungworm infection in seven out of 33 collected rats, indicating sustained transmission. The parasite's complex life cycle involves rats, slugs, and snails, with humans becoming accidental hosts through the consumption of undercooked snails or infected slugs. In humans, the parasite can cause severe neurological dysfunction, ranging from mild symptoms to paralysis, coma, and even death.

Potential Subtropical System Threatens Southeast Coast and Florida This Weekend

A low-pressure system is expected to develop off the coast of the Southeast U.S. this weekend, potentially becoming a subtropical depression or storm. Regardless of development, rain and wind will spread up the Eastern Seaboard. Another system is likely to develop in the eastern Atlantic. The Atlantic hurricane season remains active with Hurricane Nigel in the central Atlantic and a new tropical wave emerging from Africa. The low off the Southeast coast will bring gusty winds, high surf, and locally heavy rain to the Carolinas and mid-Atlantic states.

Tropical Disturbance Threatens Memorial Day Weekend Weather.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center are monitoring a tropical disturbance near the Bahamas, which has a low chance of developing into a storm. However, the overall atmospheric pattern over the southeastern US will remain unsettled over the next few days and into the Memorial Day weekend, with stormy weather expected even if a tropical or subtropical storm does not develop. "Preseason" storms are not rare, with 19 storms forming before the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season over the past 50 years.
