Washington. A snow storm warning has been issued on America’s east coast. According to American media reports and the Meteorological Department, due to the intensifying winter storm, there is a possibility of heavy snowfall, strong winds and flooding in coastal areas in the Central Atlantic and Northeastern America. Due to this, a snow storm warning has been issued in major cities including New York and Boston, due to which more than 1500 flights have been cancelled.

The National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center said the low pressure in the Southeast will move toward the south-central Atlantic coast by Sunday morning and rapidly deepen by the evening and move northeast along the East Coast. In its latest short-term forecast, the center warned of a major winter storm for the Northeast and heavy snowfall for the northern mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The weather forecast says snowfall will occur at a rate of more than an inch per hour at times, resulting in total snowfall of one to two feet, making travel nearly impossible. It also said the system will cause widespread severe impacts across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast from Sunday to Monday due to the rapid intensification of a low pressure system off the Mid-Atlantic coast.

Winds will blow at 112 kilometers per hour

Let us tell you that snow storm conditions are forecast in coastal areas from Delaware to south-eastern New England. Weather experts have warned that travel in these areas will become extremely dangerous due to severe reduction in visibility and wind gusts of 64 to 113 kilometers per hour are expected from coastal New Jersey to south-eastern New England. The Weather Forecasting Center said that due to the combination of heavy, wet snow and strong winds, there is a possibility of power outages in some places.

There are also warnings of moderate flooding in coastal areas from Delaware to Cape Cod and inundation of roads and property near the coast. The weather service has warned that travel could be dangerous, if not impossible, with snowfall rates of one to two inches per hour or more on Sunday night. Powerful winter storms often occur along the Atlantic coast of the United States during the month of February, when cold continental winds come into contact with relatively warm Atlantic waters.
