FOX Weather Meteorologist Ari Sarsalari is joined by Jeff Huffman, Weather and GIS Communication Specialist, as the pair break down a nor’easter expected to take shape and rapidly intensify through the weekend. While significant snow in the Carolinas and Virginia look certain, the question still remains if the Northeast will see significant snow.
