A significant winter storm will hit parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Sunday – Monday. As a result, our impact models are predicting substantial disruptions to supply chain, transportation, and business operations: ❄️ Widespread 8-15 inches of snowfall is likely from Philadelphia, PA to Portland, ME. Heaviest corridor setting up between NYC and Boston. Localized totals of 18-24 inches will be possible. 🌬️ As the storm strengthens, strong winds will bring blizzard conditions to the coastline. Gusts of 40-60 mph are likely, with some higher gusts in SE NE. 🚛 Road conditions will be extremely dangerous Sunday night and Monday morning along I-95, and logistics operations will slow down significantly. Travel speeds will reduce >30% and accidents/road closures will be possible. ⚡️ Power outages will be possible near the coastline where gusts are strongest, along with light damage to infrastructure. Up to 20% of customers may lose power in certain counties across CT, NY, RI, and MA. This storm is less than 48 hours away, and the time to prepare is now – learn more 👇

Recent winter storms have disrupted millions across the Southeast — including rare snow down to Myrtle Beach. WeatherOptics CEO @ScottPecoriello spoke with @FreightWaves about what supply chain and logistics companies should expect heading into February 👇

Hear from Scott Pecoriello, CEO and Founder of @WeatherOptics, and Kenneth Resta, Sr. Dir. of Safety at @Drive4Stevens, on how predictive, route-based insights help fleets anticipate risk and help drivers before they hit the road. Watch the full webinar: vimeo.com/1157752511/b66…

3. Two main scenarios to watch: → High-impact coastal storm: Heavy snow + blizzard conditions from DC to Philly to NYC to Boston → More offshore track: Glancing blow, limited impacts for major I-95 cities 🕒 We're still ~ 5 days out. The next 24-48 hours will be critical. If your operations are weather-sensitive, now is the time to prepare – not react.

2. Models agree something is coming – but not how. Both the ECMWF, GFS, and other Global Model Guidance, including AI-based models, show a moderate-to-strong signal, but with wide uncertainty on track and impacts. Probabilities of snowfall >3" on the GFS ensemble vs ECWMF ensemble

❄️ Another major winter storm this weekend? If you're seeing chatter about a potential East Coast Blizzard – it's not just hype. But it is still early. Here's what we're watching at WeatherOptics 👇

🚨 More than 700,000 customers are already without power across the South-Central U.S. as outages accelerate while our significant ice event unfolds. The WeatherOptics Power Outage Index continues to signal aggressive outage risk through this afternoon, with a corridor from Louisiana → Tennessee → Kentucky where 70–90%+ of customers could lose power. 🔋 Outage outlook through 3:45 PM ET for a few cities already seeing impacts: Nashville, TN: → Max Power Index: 5.0 → 41–50% of customers expected to experience outages Memphis, TN: → Max Power Index: 5.0 → 41–50% of customers expected to experience outages Oxford, MS: → Max Power Index: 9.0 → 81–90% of customers expected to lose power

Over 150,000 customers have already lost power across portions of the South-Central U.S. Our Power Outage Index — which combines predictive weather with critical infrastructure data — shows a significant increase in outages expected overnight across TX, LA, AR, MS, KY, and NC. For many areas, the worst of this winter event is just beginning.

🚨 Over the next 4 days, nearly 150 million people across the U.S. will be impacted by a major winter storm. This is a large, multi-day system with widespread travel, power and supply chain risk. 🥶For many, the storm will NOT be a routine event – especially across the South and Mid-Atlantic, where significant freezing rain is likely, followed by dangerous cold. Key impacts we're tracking: → Widespread 6-12 inches of snow from Oklahoma to Maine → Crippling freezing rain and ice across parts of the South & Southeast → Dangerous travel conditions, significant supply chain delays, widespread power outages, and the potential for tree & infrastructure damage 🎥 Our team recorded a short 10 minute briefing breaking down the timeline, hardest hit regions, and where impacts are most likely to materialize 👇

Check out the latest from @FreightWaves, @SONAR_FW, and WeatherOptics on what to expect with the upcoming winter storm, and how it compares to Great Winter Freeze of 2021. Access our data and insights directly in SONAR's Critical Events for more information 👇

🚨 LIVE in < 1 hour A major winter storm is on track to impact nearly half of the U.S., with significant risk to transportation, power, infrastructure, and business operations. 🎥 Today @ 11:00 AM ET – Join the WeatherOptics Live Winter Briefing + real-time Q&A. We'll cover: → National overview of the storm → Region-by-region timeline of impact → Snowfall + freezing rain / ice risk → Power, Road, and Operational impact forecasts 👉 Register: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

🌨️ A significant winter storm is expected to impact nearly half of the U.S., creating high risk for transportation, supply chain, critical infrastructure, and communities. WeatherOptics has released a Special Winter Storm Briefing translating the forecast into AI-driven impact intelligence – showing where and when disruption is most likely. We'll also be hosting a Live Webinar tomorrow morning at 11 AM ET covering everything you need to know about the event. 📰Report: weatheroptics.co/post/major-win… 🎥Registration for Live Briefing: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Significant impacts to supply chain and freight are expected later this week as a major winter storm hits parts of the South, Midwest, and East Coast. Changes to demand, high-end shipment delays, and extreme driver danger are becoming increasingly likely for key markets around the U.S. You can access WeatherOptics' Critical Event and Risk Score Insights within @SONAR_FW to see how this storm will unfold throughout the week👇

Major cities and logistics hubs in the south will be at high risk over the weekend. Impacts include: – Significant trucking and shipment delays - Power outages and utility failures - Potential for daily business operations to come to a standstill Below are early impact forecasts for Little Rock, AR and Dallas, TX

Critical freight corridors are at risk, including: I-20, I-30, I-40, I-59, I-75, I-81, I-85, and I-95 Expect accident risk, closures, and at times impassable segments.

❄️🚨 A major, cross-country winter storm is likely to cause widespread operational disruption from Texas to New York this weekend and into early next week. This has the potential to be one of the more consequential U.S. winter storms in several years.
