美國冬季風暴來襲:多地將迎來大雪與強風
一場重大的冬季風暴預計將影響美國多個地區,帶來大量降雪、冰凍和強風。在中大西洋地區,包括華盛頓特區,電腦模型顯示週三晚上到週四可能會有一場冬季風暴,但風暴的時間、強度和路徑仍存在不確定性。歐洲模型顯示可能會有大雪和強風,但也有可能只是輕微降雪。
在新澤西州,預計一場冬季風暴將從週六下午開始帶來高達5英寸的雪、冰、雨夾雪和暴雨。週日晚上預計會有高達60英里每小時的陣風,伴隨著氣溫的急劇下降。國家氣象局已對八個縣的部分地區發布了冬季天氣警報,預計積雪量在1到5英寸之間,某些地區的冰凍積累量可能達到十分之一英寸。週日晚上的一股冷鋒將帶來更冷和多風的天氣,可能導致停電和樹木損壞。
馬薩諸塞州也在為一場混亂的冬季風暴做準備,預計週六開始下雪,並在週日早些時候轉為冰凍和降雨。北部地區的降雪量預計在5到8英寸之間,而南海岸、科德角和島嶼地區的降雪量預計在1到3英寸之間。冰凍雨可能會導致0.10到0.25英寸的冰凍積累,造成危險的交通狀況和可能的停電。預計週一會有強風,陣風高達55英里每小時,風寒指數將降至接近或低於零度。
預報員還在監測下週晚些時候可能出現的另一場重大雪暴,但具體細節仍不確定。建議受影響地區的居民隨時關注天氣警報,並為危險情況做好準備。
