From February 22–24, 2026, a historic and crippling blizzard, unofficially named Winter Storm Hernando by The Weather Channel and various media,[1][2][3] or more commonly the Blizzard of 2026,[4][5] caused extensive impacts across the Northeastern United States, dropping 2–3 feet (24–36 in; 61–91 cm) of snow across much of the megalopolis, bringing blizzard conditions, strong gusty winds, and coastal flooding to the shorelines of the region. Originating out of a shortwave trough that moved ashore on the West Coast of the United States on February 20, the system swiftly moved eastwards across the country before beginning to consolidate late the following day. A new surface low developed off the southeastern United States early on February 22 and began moving north, before rapidly strengthening overnight, bringing blizzard conditions and very heavy snowfall to the Northeast corridor on February 23, moving into Atlantic Canada by later that day.

States of emergencies were declared in seven states, including New Jersey, New York and large portions of New England.[6] Heavy precipitation was anticipated for major U.S. metropolitan areas, some of which were predicted to set new records. Blizzard warnings were issued for a majority of northeastern Mid-Atlantic states, the first such in New York City and Boston, respectively, since March 2017 and January 2022. Travel bans were enacted in multiple regions such as New York City and the state of New Jersey. The blizzard was described by some as among the worst to threaten the Northeast since the blizzard of 1996.[7]

As of February 26, at least 13 fatalities from the blizzard have been confirmed: 6 in New York, 2 each in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, and one in Massachusetts, respectively. Over 600,000 people lost power at the height of the blizzard due to strong gusty winds. Blizzard conditions were verified across numerous locations, including New Jersey and Massachusetts, with both daily and all-time snowfall records being broken throughout the Northeast. Hurricane-strength wind gusts were reported in New England, nearly reaching 100 mph (160 km/h) in the immediate coastal regions. Coastal flooding caused minor to moderate damage along the Jersey Shore and surrounding waters.

In mid-February 2026, the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) began highlighting the development of a potential coastal storm in the Northeastern U.S. within the February 20–23 timeframe.[8] Key factors in the development included a shortwave trough originating from the Pacific Ocean. Initial forecasts were uncertain as forecasting models depicted differing tracks of the storm, which would determine the level of impacts across the coastal areas.[9] On February 19, the shortwave moved ashore into the West Coast of the United States in the state of California.[10] The next day, the disturbance moved eastward across the Rocky Mountains, dropping light snowfall accumulations across small portions of the High Plains. By February 21, a stationary front was situated over the southeastern United States, where the main low was forecasted to form.[11]

As the mid- and upper-level disturbances aligned in a more favorable orientation, cyclogenesis led the formation of a new surface low with a pressure of 1,009 mb (29.8 inHg) off the North Carolina coast early on February 22, which began moving northeastwards.[12] As it strengthened, it developed an eye-like feature.[13] The cyclone then began to rapidly strengthen or "bomb out" during the afternoon and nighttime hours; blizzard conditions began developing along the coastline as winds increased, while intense snowbands with snowfall rates of 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) an hour developed and pivoted west towards New Jersey. Additionally, thundersnow and lightning became likely, as the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) highlighted a corridor in the Northeast outlining the possibility due to intense convection.[14] By 03:00 UTC on February 23, the WPC began issuing periodic storm summary bulletins on the blizzard.[15] The storm explosively deepened to a pressure of 966 mb (28.5 inHg) by 15:00 UTC, producing heavy snow and hurricane-force wind gusts in southeastern New England.[16] It would further deepen to a pressure of 965 mb (28.5 inHg) by 21:00 UTC as conditions in the Mid-Atlantic and New England began to improve while heavy snow bands began impacting coastal Maine.[17] Snowfall began to end early on February 24 as the storm headed away from New England. The WPC issued its last storm summary at 09:00 UTC.[18]

The National Weather Service (NWS) warned of potential blizzard conditions in areas such as Long Island and regions closer to the ocean in anticipation of strong gusty winds and whiteout conditions.[19] The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron 71 from the Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi was sent to gather data on the environment on February 21.[20]

Starting on February 20, winter storm watches were issued for much of the coastal areas of the Northeastern United States, encompassing areas from Washington, D.C., to Cape Cod, Massachusetts.[1] By February 22, winter storm warnings were issued for parts of the Hudson Valley and Pennsylvania, while blizzard warnings covered all of Delaware, eastern Maryland, all of New Jersey, all of Connecticut and New York City—the first such warnings issued there since January 1996, February 2010 and March 2017, respectively—and into southern New England.[21][22][23][24][25] It was also the first such warning for Boston and all of Rhode Island since January 2022 and for all 21 New Jersey counties since January 1996.[26][27][28] In addition, coastal flood warnings were issued from the Jersey Shore into New York City and upwards toward the counties of Westchester and Fairfield.[29]

An estimated 8,000 flights for February 22–23 were cancelled by airlines, with over 22,000 of them being delayed by the evening of February 22.[30][31] Almost 1,000 of the cancellations were from Newark Liberty International Airport, John F.
