A whopper of a winter storm is set to impact a large chunk of the U.S. – from Texas to the East Coast – this weekend. It’s too early to predict how much snow we may get, but the models are aligning for significant totals.

Forecasters have said the upcoming winter storm is expected to bring heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

A growing threat of winter weather could bring dangerous travel conditions and possible power outages across North Georgia this weekend, as forecasters warn that ice, not snow, may be the biggest concern.

Texans across the state are preparing for unusual and extreme cold this weekend, as well as snow, sleet and rain. The National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office issued a winter storm watch and an extreme cold watch ahead of the weather this weekend,

Meteorologists are still watching a major winter storm that could hit the region this weekend, but forecasts show it trending northward.

Based on computer guidance models — which are not official forecasts — the Garden State could get anywhere from a few inches of snow to as much as 2 feet of snow.

A Houston emergency management official said the storm expected this weekend could be comparable to the winter storm of 2021, which decimated the state and killed hundreds.

“This is shaping up to be the most impactful storm of the winter so far. Ice could bring down trees and power lines, potentially leaving hundreds of thousands of people without electricity and heat for several days,” AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said in a statement.
