Meteorologist Henry Margusity reports on a significant winter storm developing on December 1, 2025, which is currently moving from the Central Plains into the eastern United States. After impacting Kansas City and Omaha, the system is expected to intensify as it tracks eastward, bringing a dangerous mix of snow and ice as far south as Northern Virginia and the Ozarks. While Washington D.C. and Dulles Airport may see a wintry mix before transitioning to rain, the system will largely remain a snow event for the northern regions, causing widespread travel delays.
The Northeast is expected to receive the heaviest impact, with forecasts predicting accumulations exceeding 8 inches in some areas, though a general swath of 4 to 8 inches is anticipated across the region. Conversely, the Ohio Valley will see lighter accumulations of roughly 2 to 3 inches. The active winter pattern is set to continue later in the week, with additional snow chances forecasted for the Rockies and Midwest on Wednesday and Thursday, potentially reaching the Smoky Mountains by Friday. Viewers are urged to wear proper footwear to avoid slips and falls on the icy surfaces.
