National Weather Service forecasters have been tracking a low pressure area that moved from the Midwest into the Atlantic Ocean Jan. 26, 2015, and is expected to become a strong nor’easter that will bring blizzard conditions to the northeastern U.S. The path of the system was captured in a NASA movie of NOAA’s GOES-East satellite imagery.
This GOES-East animation shows a cold front push off the U.S. East coast followed by a low pressure area from the Midwest moved southeast and exited the Carolinas into the Atlantic Ocean. That low pressure area is forecast to intensify into a Nor’easter.
