Blizzardlike conditions stemming from a "bomb cyclone" brought heavy snow to the Southeast and ushered in frigid temperatures to much of the East Coast.

The midweek storm could bring "a quick-hitting bout of snow," an AccuWeather meteorologist said.

It's time to prepare for heavy snow this weekend as a rapidly intensifying winter storm arrives.

The Jersey Shore may soon see strong winds from a storm and high tides from a full moon, conditions that could create more beach erosion.

The coastal storm is still taking shape but seems likely to be designated a "bomb cyclone."

A winter weather system moving through the eastern U.S. could reorganize into a strong coastal storm off the East Coast later this weekend.

The storm could form just days after Winter Storm Fern slammed into the same area

Such rapidly strengthening storms are capable of producing heavy rain, blizzard conditions and intense winds that can create dangerous conditions such as downed trees and power outages.
