The East Coast was battered with wind, rain and destructive thunderstorms Thursday, and another storm might come out of the woodwork early next week. It will be a much different animal, though. Instead of plowing in from the west, Monday's storm will form over the western Atlantic. The key factor is proximity. The closeness of the storm to the coast will make all the difference in the world. The worst-case scenario allows snow to fall from eastern Virginia to southern New England; best case is that it turns out bright and sunny everywhere. AccuWeather.com will keep you posted on this one. A lot can happen between now and then.
