East Coast Major Storm Update

A major winter storm is forecast to impact the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast from Sunday, February 22, through Monday, February 23, 2026.

Feb 22

A powerful nor’easter is expected to produce widespread snowfall of 1 to 2 feet (12–24 inches) and blizzard conditions along coastal areas, resulting in nearly impossible travel and potential for numerous power outages.

Key Weather Hazards

Blizzard Conditions: Millions of residents from coastal Delaware through southeastern New England are under blizzard warnings. High winds combined with heavy snow will cause whiteout conditions and near-zero visibility.
Extreme Winds: Wind gusts are expected to range from 40 to 70 mph from coastal New Jersey to southeast New England.
Power Outages: The combination of strong winds and the weight of heavy, wet snow is likely to cause scattered to numerous power outages.
Coastal Flooding: Moderate to major coastal flooding and high surf are forecast, with inundation of roads and property most likely from Delaware to Cape Cod.

Travel and Safety Impacts

Travel will become treacherous to life-threatening starting Sunday afternoon. Officials have urged residents in major metropolitan areas, including New York City, to stay off the roads. Significant disruptions to travel and infrastructure are likely, including widespread flight cancellations and school closures on Monday.

Offshore Waters

Storm to Hurricane force winds and seas building up to 9-11 meters within 180-360 nm south of the center during the next 36-48 hours.
