Millions of people in the Northeast are bracing for Winter Storm Juno, which threatens to become a major snowstorm today through Wednesday with the potential for blizzard conditions and more than 2 feet of snow.
The high confidence in forecast wind and snowfall led the National Weather Service to issue blizzard warnings well in advance of the storm from the New Jersey shore all the way to Downeast Maine, including the cities of New York City, Boston, Providence, Hartford and Portland. Most of the warnings are in effect from Monday afternoon or evening through late Tuesday night.
At least 28 million people are in the zone of potential blizzard conditions, and millions more will see enough snow to complicate travel.
Residents in areas to be affected are being warned to prepare early and to not wait until Juno hits their area.
Travel disruptions due to the snow should be on Monday around Philadelphia and New York City, but the worst will come Monday night through Tuesday. Once the system reaches the waters off the Northeast and turns northward, it will rapidly intensify Monday night with blizzard conditions developing from the central New Jersey coast to southern New England.
AccuWeather also warns of potential power outages, so plan accordingly. MORE HERE.
Be careful out there folks! Prepare for the worst and be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't come to pass. It beats not being prepared and having the worst happen.
