New Update: Massive Winter Storm Affecting 25 States Headed To East Coast, Here's Latest

A major winter storm affecting 100 million Americans in 25 states will hit the East Coast just in time to potentially create slick conditions for commuters in parts of the Northeast.

The sprawling system, which has dumped up to 2 feet of snow in the Rockies, will arrive in the region late Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 19 before heading north, the National Weather Service says.

"The timing of the snow in parts of the Interstate 95 corridor on Wednesday afternoon may be particularly challenging," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Courtney Travis. "Snow arriving in the afternoon in places such as Washington, DC, and Baltimore could lead to rapidly deteriorating travel conditions going into the afternoon and evening commute."

See the first image above from AccuWeather for accumulation projections released Tuesday, Feb. 18:

  • Areas in the darkest shade of blue: More than a foot of accumulation is anticipated.
  • Next lightest shade: 6 inches to 1 foot of snow is projected.
  • Lightest shade: Expect 1 to 3 inches of snow.
