Winter Storm Gail takes aim at the East Coast

December 15, 2020

A major nor'easter, named Winter Storm Gail, is expected to hit the East Coast Wednesday into Thursday. Forecasts call for heavy snow, strong winds and some coastal flooding in parts of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. A mix of sleet and freezing rain could occur as far south as western North Carolina and western Virginia.

Based on forecasts, this may become one of the most impactful December storms the Northeast has seen in recent years. It's expected to impact tens of millions of people and some of the nation's most important supply chain hubs. Significant travel disruption and road closures are likely along with power outages. Most locations should see improving weather conditions by the second half of Thursday.

Tropical Storm Nana heads toward Central America

Tropical Storm Nana formed Tuesday in the Caribbean Sea and is tracking toward landfall, most likely in Belize, by early Thursday. The storm may become a hurricane just prior to landfall, possibly bringing storm surge flooding and damaging winds. Nana could also bring flooding rain to parts of Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and eastern Mexico. A tropical storm watch has been issued in Belize and northern Honduras, including Roatan Island and the Bay Islands.
