A major snowstorm may be brewing over the central and eastern U.S. in the days before Christmas with the potential to complicate holiday travel.
The likelihood of a “potential blockbuster system” hitting before Christmas is increasing, AccuWeather forecasters said, although high-confidence forecasts for Christmas Day are still several days away.
The storm is also expected to coincide with an outbreak of Arctic air forecast to drop temperatures to “bone-chilling levels,” according to AccuWeather. The National Weather Service forecast below-average temperatures in the days before Christmas throughout most of the country, including the East Coast, South and Midwest, as the Arctic airmass heads toward the Midwest and Ohio.
