Isiphepho sizosakaza iqhwa ukusuka e-Upper Midwest ukuya ogwini olumaphakathi ne-Atlantic kule mpelasonto okungenzeka kube ukuhefuzela kokugcina kwasebusika.
Isiphepho kule mpelasonto singesesibili futhi esibuthakathaka kulezi ziphepho ezimbili ezihamba phakathi kwenqwaba yomoya obandayo.
Nakuba isiphepho singeke silethe iqhwa elinamandla, singaletha iqhwa elanele ukwenza eminye imigwaqo ishelele futhi mhlawumbe ibangele ukubambezeleka okuncane kwezindiza, ngenxa yokusebenza kwe-deicing.
Ukuwa kweqhwa okunamandla kakhulu kusuka esiphepho esisheshayo kuzokwenzeka kusukela ezingxenyeni ezisempumalanga ye-Minnesota kuya eNhlonhlweni Esezansi yaseMichigan ngoMgqibelo.
Iningi lokunqwabelana kweqhwa lizoba ezindaweni ezingagandayiwe, ngaphandle kwasezindaweni ezingenhla ze-Great Lakes, lapho izimo zomgwaqo zizobanda kakhulu.
I-intshi noma amabili eqhwa anganqwabelana ezingxenyeni ezisenyakatho nasempumalanga ye-Ohio ziye ezintabeni e-Pennsylvania, e-West Virginia nasentshonalanga ye-Maryland phakathi noMgqibelo kuze kube ngoMgqibelo ebusuku.
Ukumboza ukukhanya kuyintshi yeqhwa kuzosinda ohambweni oludlule enkabeni ye-Appalachian ukuya ogwini olumaphakathi ne-Atlantic phakathi noMgqibelo ebusuku ngeSonto ekuseni.
“Njengoba iqhwa lizowa engxenyeni emaphakathi ye-Appalachian kanye nogu olumaphakathi ne-Atlantic phakathi nobusuku nasekuseni kakhulu, eminye imigwaqo ingaba yinhlekele futhi ishelele,” ngokusho kuka-AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist uBrian Wimer.
Izindawo okungenzeka ukuthi zishelele kakhulu kuzoba amabhuloho, izindawo ezidlula ngaphezulu kanye nezindawo ezingakutholi ukukhanya kwelanga okuqondile.
Noma iliphi iqhwa nodaka endaweni phakathi kweSonto ekuseni kuzoncibilika ngeSonto ntambama njengoba amazinga okushisa ephindela kuma-40s ezindaweni eziningi.
Amazinga okushisa ezingxenyeni zase-Ohio, eVirginia, eWest Virginia, ePennsylvania naseMaryland angafinyelela ku-50 ngeSonto.
“Ngisho nezimo ezifudumele zilindelekile kusukela ngesonto elizayo kuze kudlule phakathi nenyanga,” ngokusho kwesazi sezulu se-AccuWeather Lead Long-Range uPaul Pastelok. "Zisengaba neziqephu ezimbalwa ezibandayo entwasahlobo."
Amathuba azoya ngokuya eqhela ukuthi isiphepho noma amabili angaxhuma nomoya obandayo ukuletha iqhwa elimanzi engxenyeni yokugcina kaMashi kanye no-April.
