Trio of aggressive ‘cyclonic lows’ to bring ‘reign of misery’ as series of storms hit

Southern and eastern states will be swept by a loop of the jet stream doubling as a storm conveyor belt.

The region unsettled weather into the weekend with the last in the storm in the trinity will deliver the most brutal shot.

AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno said: “It’s going to be a wet and stormy week along the East Coast.

“A series of storms will bring rounds of rain from Texas and the Gulf Coast states through the Southeast, then into the Northeast, with the potential for snow in parts of the interior Northeast and Appalachians.

“The energy from the storm in the West will trigger the third storm for the East from Wednesday to Thursday, and this final storm in the series could be the strongest.”

Volatile weather will be driven by the jet stream as it sweeps eastwards over the southeast whipping up wind, rain, and the risk of wintry downpours.

Cold air from the north will clash with the system through the start of the week triggering snow, ice, and freezing fog.

Rayno said: “The first storm in a trio may bring a bit of ice or a wintry mix encompassing rain, snow, and ice on the front end to northern New England.

“A trailing storm is expected to remain relatively weak and will likely travel to the Northeast along the Appalachians from Monday night to Tuesday night.

“The beginnings of a third storm will take shape in the Northwest late this week, and this Pacific storm will slide south-eastward across the interior West into early next week.”

Warm air still flowing in from the Gulf of Mexico will clash with colder air to the north adding an extra oomph to the choppy outlook.

Colliding weather patterns will dish up a mix of wind, snow rain, thunder and even the risk of tornadoes.
