The [N]ext Winter Storm




With winter storms being a major blight this year, predictions and landfall estimates have been extended as far out as the Pacific. Winter Storm Nika, dubbed by the Weather Channel on Sunday, is currently ripening as a naught but a trough in the Jetstream right now, but will encounter an eddy in the upcoming low pressure system and will be provided with enough moisture to batter the Midwest with yet another snowstorm. The interception boundary will stretch as far as the New England area and will likely last for about two to three days given the favorable conditions. As of right now (February 1, 2014), it is impossible to predict the severity on the storm and the associated accumulation – just its arrival and duration.
