The Weather Channel has named Winter Storm Janus, the 10th named storm of the 2013-14 winter storm season. Janus will bring a short but potentially disruptive burst of snow to the heavily populated and traveled I-95 corridor from Virginia to New England Tuesday through early Wednesday.
Janus originated as a weak area of low pressure developing along a powerful arctic cold front as it began surging south into the U.S. early Monday.
This low will zip southeast and then eastward along that front as it barrels farther south, intensifying significantly as it moves east of the Appalachians and eventually off the Atlantic coast Tuesday. With very strong high pressure and bitterly cold arctic air building in from the north, the stage will be set for this low-pressure center to blitz the Northeast Megalopolis with snow and blustery winds.
