Travel Disruptions Widespread
Air travel has already been significantly impacted. Airlines have cancelled hundreds of flights scheduled for Sunday and Monday, particularly at major airports in New York City and Boston. Carriers are offering flexible rebooking options as they monitor the storm’s path.
Flight tracking services report more than 1,000 cancellations on Sunday alone, with additional cancellations expected into Monday. Passengers traveling through the Northeast are being encouraged to check flight statuses before heading to airports.
Officials in coastal cities such as Atlantic City have warned residents and visitors about potential flooding in low-lying neighborhoods. Emergency managers caution that snow-covered floodwaters could be difficult to see, increasing the risk of accidents.
Dangerous Conditions Expected Through Monday
Forecasters say conditions will likely worsen Sunday afternoon as colder air moves into the region. Rain in some areas could quickly change to heavy snow, leading to rapid accumulation overnight.
Authorities are urging residents to prepare emergency supplies, charge electronic devices, and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve. The storm arrives just weeks after another system left lingering icy conditions across parts of the Northeast.
With millions in its path, this winter storm is expected to be one of the most disruptive weather events of the season. Officials say staying off roads and following local emergency guidance will be critical in minimizing risks.
