Deadly Christmas week blizzard becomes bomb cyclone; power outages explode amid travel nightmare
To the east, on the warmer side of the storm, significant impacts are still expected along the East Coast, even in the absence of blizzard conditions.
Wind-driven rain is expected across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Friday as damaging winds blast the region with widespread 50-plus-mph gusts. Some gusts between 60 and 70 mph cannot be ruled out as the arctic cold front plows through the East from Friday into Friday night. Scattered power outages are likely to continue through Friday night, and more widespread outages are possible in areas that see the highest wind gusts, including western and northern New York and northern and coastal New England.HERE’S WHAT TO HAVE ON HAND IF THE POWER GOES OUT DURING A WINTER STORM
The wind gusts will be strong enough to knock down trees and limbs, causing damage to power lines and other electrical equipment, especially in locations where heavy snow adds extra weight to the trees and power lines, making them more vulnerable to being damaged by the high winds.Current wind alerts in effect across the eastern U.S.
Even after the rain ends, the dangers will not. Rapidly dropping temperatures will lead to a widespread flash freeze of any standing water on the roads, causing dangerous travel conditions from Friday night to at least Saturday.
