The next winter storm after Enzo is projected to arrive early next week before the end of January 2025. In fact, early models predict that a pair of winter storms will be arriving before February. The first storm is shaping up to impact the northeastern states in New England, while the second looks to hit the Midwest. If these forecasts hold, they might have enough intensity to be called Winter Storm Freya and Winter Storm Garnett by The Weather Channel. Here’s whether there is another winter storm arriving soon.
Is there another winter storm coming next week?
Two winter storms are expected to hit the United States by next week. The first is looking to arrive around Monday, January 27, coming south from Canada and causing snowfall in the northeastern US. The second system will grow in strength and reach the midwestern states some time between Friday and Sunday.
This forecast comes by way of Max Schuster, better known as Max Velocity on YouTube, analyzing future weather patterns from both the American GFS and Canadian models on Tuesday. A low-pressure system from Canada, tentatively named Winter Storm Freya, is projected to head south toward New York close to Monday. It has the potential to bring the usual lake-effect snow in Michigan and impacting Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and other states in New England.
That said, Schuster focuses more on the second system, which could be named Winter Storm Garnett, which has greater potential for snowfall. A trough of low pressure is projected to form on Saturday between California and Nevada, hovering near the Rocky Mountains for several days until around Wednesday. From there, the system looks to gather strength and intensify every day before heading east.
This upcoming winter storm has a similar pattern to Winter Storm Blair that brought around a foot of snow in some parts of the Ohio Valley. But given that these predictions are based on models over a week away, it’s still too soon to be certain about the storm’s location and intensity.
