Bomb Cyclone Alert: 12 Cities Facing Severe Winter Onslaught
A ferocious **bomb cyclone** is barreling toward the US East Coast this weekend, threatening 12 key cities from the Southeast to New England with a perilous mix of heavy snow, biting cold, gale-force winds, and coastal flooding. This rapidly intensifying nor'easter, set to explode in strength Saturday along the mid-Atlantic, could deliver the heaviest snowfall in decades to southern regions unaccustomed to such fury.[1][2]
Hardest-Hit Cities and Snow Projections
Cities like Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro in North Carolina, and Norfolk in Virginia top the danger list, with forecasts of 5-8 inches or more—potentially surpassing records like Charlotte's 13.2 inches from 2004. Blizzard conditions loom from strong winds up to 70 mph and low visibility, while the Outer Banks face tropical storm-force gusts and erosion. Further north, Massachusetts and southern New England brace for spillover impacts Sunday.[1][2]
Preparation Essentials Amid the Chaos
Residents should stock essentials, avoid coastal travel, and monitor updates as this bomb cyclone—defined by a drastic 24-millibar pressure drop—unleashes its wrath. Expect power outages, flight delays, and hazardous roads through Sunday.[1][2]
