Major storm could bring heavy snow from coast to coast: forecast

A massive storm could dump snow across the nation "coast to coast" in the first week of 2024, a new forecast shows.

MSNBC meteorologist Bill Karins Monday detailed the 5-day journey of a strong storm that one computer model shows traveling across country until it hits the East Coast on Sunday, he said.

"We have had one of the worst starts to a snow season ever," Karins said. "The first snow could be a big snow."

According to the forecast, the storm will begin on the West Coast Tuesday night with strong winds, rain, cold air and snow in high-altitude areas.

Northern areas will see snow as the storm travels across the U.S., Karins said.

What impact the storm will have on the mid-Atlantic and New England remains unclear, but Karins said there is a chance for a major snowstorm.

"We don't know who's going to get the worst of that," the weatherman said. "I'm sure I'll be talking about this a lot more in the days ahead."
