The weekend nor'easter is set to bring heavy rain, snow and ice to a large portion of the eastern US. The storm has already brought snow and rain across the South. Now, it's targeting North Carolina and Virginia with icy weather before bringing heavy snowfall and rain from West Virginia to Maine.

The jet stream will continue to send storm after storm to the US West Coast over the next several days. This will result in several feet of snowfall in the mountains and several inches of rain along the coast from Washington state to Northern California.

The Fox Forecast Center is already tracking another powerful storm that will impact the eastern half of the US next week. Heavy snowfall is possible across the Northern Plains and Midwest, while flooding is possible from the Southeast to the Northeast. Severe weather is also expected from Texas to North Carolina and Florida.
