Live updates: Millions digging out, thousands without power as next winter storm threat looms
Utility crews are working around the clock to restore power after this weekend's crippling winter storm, while millions along the East Coast brace for another potential storm.
A coastal storm is predicted to develop this weekend and dump snow over parts of the East Coast.
While millions dig out from the weekend's heavy snow and thousands are still without power from the crippling ice, a new storm threat is already brewing. The FOX Forecast Center says another winter storm is likely to form off America's East Coast and could dump snow on areas still working to recover from the last one.
Some computer forecast models paint a startling picture: a big snowstorm smacking the Carolinas to New England with heavy snow and strong winds. But forecasters caution that these bombastic model images can be misleading too far in advance of the system even developing. Right now, they say there is a threat for heavy snow from the Southeast coast on Saturday up to the Mid-Atlantic and New England on Sunday.
FOX Weather will be tracking this potential storm's every move, providing around-the-clock LIVE coverage as it develops.
