Next potential winter storm looms over millions across Midwest, Northeast this weekend
Just one week after a historic blizzard pummeled New England and other parts of the Interstate 95 corridor, yet another potential multi-day winter storm could impact millions across 25 states in the Northeast, as well as the Midwest beginning Sunday.
TEXAS - As temperatures rise across the Southwest, Texas could see days of record-breaking February heat throughout the rest of the week. Meanwhile, the Northeast braces for the chance of even more snow.
Rounds of snow have pounded the I-95 corridor. From a historic blizzard to more light flurries, and now with another winter storm on the horizon, the region could continue to be hammered by more winter weather.
Earlier this week, snowfall records were shattered, including a whopping 37.9 inches recorded in Povidence, Rhode Island, making it the all-time biggest snowstorm for the city.
With multiple states across the Northeast slammed with over 2 feet of snow from the massive blizzard, hurricane-force winds and whiteout conditions, power outages swept the region.

Several locations near the Rio Grande River are looking at the potential for temperatures to reach over 100 degrees.
Laredo, Texas, is one such location which typically does not see 100 degrees until April.
Other cities across the Southwest have the possibility of breaking multiple days of record-high temperatures as well, including Phoenix and Las Vegas.
The FOX Forecast Center said in Phoenix's 131 years of record-keeping, Phoenix has reached the 90s in February in only five previous years.
It would also mark its earliest 90-degree day since Feb. 26, 1986, which was 40 years ago.
