Winter Storm Targets East Coast as Cities Brace for Heavy Snow by Sunday

A winter storm is heading toward the U.S. East Coast, set to arrive by Sunday. Major cities like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington are preparing for accumulating snow. Forecasters are tracking its path as conditions develop further inland.

The storm's track has been closely monitored along the I-95 corridor. Models suggest heavy snowfall for Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston. Meanwhile, Central New York will see clouds and gusty winds but little to no snow.

The European forecast places the storm well east of Central New York. This means the region will avoid significant impacts this weekend. No additional storms are expected there in the coming days.

The storm's arrival on Sunday will bring snow to key East Coast cities. Central New York remains unaffected, with only windy and overcast conditions. Residents in the storm's path have been advised to prepare for winter weather.
