Northeastern United States

New York City and regions of the Northeastern United States are preparing for a significant snowstorm, with forecasts predicting up to eight inches of snow in the city and up to ten inches in higher elevations. This would mark the largest snowfall in New York City since 2022, prompting winter storm warnings and concerns about hazardous travel and potential power outages.

Ice storm warnings have been issued east of Pittsburgh, and treacherous travel conditions are expected along the I-80 corridor. The storm is also causing disruptions from Michigan through Buffalo and Philadelphia, while the West Coast faces flood watches and the central U.S. experiences unseasonably warm temperatures.

New York City, parts of Northeast brace for massive snowstorm

New York City and some parts of the Northeastern are bracing for a major snowstorm. The area could see up to eight inches of snow, which would be, get this, the most snowfall there since 2022. CBS News New York meteorologist, Tony Siddiqui, has our forecast. Good morning, Chanel. We've got an active day of weather for any post-Christmas travel anywhere from the Great Lakes to the Northeast. Ice storm warnings just east of Pittsburgh will mean treacherous travel across portions of the I-80 corridor, and a winter storm warning for New York City could see its biggest snow in nearly four years. Look at this as it develops. Already a messy start to the morning in Michigan. This rolls through Buffalo to Pittsburgh. All this rolls through to Philly, down to the South. New York City, by this evening, get ready for moderate to heavy snow that can accumulate pretty quickly. Inch or two-an-hour snowfall rates will mean treacherous conditions on the roads, poorer visibility, slick travel right through the overnight hours. This starts to let up a little bit after that, but this'll be a lot to shovel, so pace yourself. We're thinking about a quarter inch of ice or more, so definitely rough travel, but also we'll likely see power outages, too, in this zone. Meanwhile, six to 10 inches of snow can fall. New York City, higher elevations. Expect travel delays and issues there. West Coast, one more day of flood watches across much of California. Moderate to heavy rain could still mean some localized flooding in the higher terrain, but we are expecting improvements. The weather starts to clear up and dry out heading into the weekend. Meanwhile, big warmth across much of the middle of the country could challenge records. Oklahoma City to Memphis, more warmth on tap Saturday. That'll fuel another storm developing in the middle of the country by Sunday afternoon. Chanel? Tony, thanks so much.
