The worst of the storm arrives this weekend
Meteorologists pointed out that it is still too early to determine more precisely what path the storm will follow and the intensity and type of precipitation it will leave in its wake. What is clear to them is that the worst of the storm will arrive during the weekend.
According to The Hill , meteorologist Tony Fracasso from the NWS Weather Prediction Service in Maryland said the storm's path may be finalized as the day progresses, as the trajectory of the Pacific system evolves through Colorado and New Mexico and continues on its way to Texas and the Southeast before moving up the East Coast.
