"AccuWeather called the approaching weather a triple-threat March megastorm that will affect nearly 200 million people across the US and warned that travel disruptions are likely as the components of wind, snow, rain and cold developed into a bomb cyclone and would rank among the most impactful US weather event of the year so far."
"The severe weather setup across parts of the mid-Atlantic can be volatile on Monday if several atmospheric factors conspire together, which may produce one of the most impactful and dangerous early-season severe weather events in this part of the country over the last decade, said Jonathan Porter, AccuWeather's chief meteorologist."
"Among the hazards, Porter said, were damaging straight-line winds, a few tornadoes including the possibility of an especially intense tornado near the Baltimore and Washington DC metro areas through Virginia and into North Carolina."
A severe weather system is moving across the United States, bringing heavy snow to the upper Midwest and damaging winds to the Plains. The storm will spread eastward by Monday, threatening the eastern US with particular danger in mid-Atlantic states and Washington DC. AccuWeather identified this as a triple-threat March megastorm affecting nearly 200 million people, combining wind, snow, rain, and cold into a bomb cyclone. The mid-Atlantic faces risks of damaging straight-line winds and tornadoes, including potentially intense tornadoes near Baltimore, Washington DC, and extending into Virginia and North Carolina. Further north, from New York City into southern New England, flooding downpours pose concerns, with some areas potentially receiving 0.5 to 1 inch of rain in under an hour, causing urban flooding.
