A nor'easter will blast the Northeast and New England with heavy snow, rain, high winds and coastal flooding as it develops and intensifies off the East Coast early this week, making travel dangerous and nearly impossible for millions of people along and north of the Interstate 95 corridor. This powerful winter storm could potentially undergo "bombogenesis" as it rapidly strengthens off the Eastern Seaboard. If the storm's central pressure drops by at least 24 millibars in a 24-hour period, it will become a "bomb cyclone," which is indicative of a very powerful storm system.
