The high pressure system in Canada is so strong that it may actually force this storm to RETROGADE back into the east coast just like Sandy! Descriptions on ACCUWEATHER about this potential storm are talking about HURRICANE-FORCE GUSTS with a MAJOR BLIZZARD!!!
East Coast Major Storm Potential Next Week
A wintry system that will make a cross-country tour this weekend has the potential to develop into a powerful and very disruptive storm along the East Coast next week.
Northwest and Plains
The storm will track into the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia tonight bringing a modest dose of rain and mountain snow.
Some of the early weather-related problems with the storm in the Northwest this weekend will be drenching rain along the coast and snow dipping to pass levels. As with many storms that bring snow to the high country and shifting snow levels in the Northwest, there is a risk of avalanches.
In fact, most of the life of this storm as it traverses the Northwest through Sunday, then the northern Rockies and central Plains into early next week will not be blockbusting news.
Through this point, the storm will tend to bring travel disruptions typical of the winter months with a swath of light to moderate snow. On a positive note, the storm will provide some moisture to a needy area. (States in the path of the modest storm to this point include, but are not limited to, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri).
