00:00Another blast of dangerous winter weather is now taking aim at the East Coast, just as millions are still digging out from last weekend's deadly storm.
00:11They're calling this one a bomb cyclone.
00:14Forecasters say repeated waves of Arctic air will drive temperatures well below freezing through the weekend,
00:20creating one of the longest stretches of cold that the eastern U.S. has seen in decades.
00:24You do not want to be in the purple on that map.
00:26Record lows are possible in several major cities, with wind chills plunging below zero in some areas.
00:33Now the attention turns to a coastal system expected to develop over the Carolinas later tonight,
00:39potentially intensifying into a powerful winter storm.
00:43Meteorologists are increasingly confident the southern Appalachians, Carolinas, and parts of Virginia will see significant snowfall,
00:50with some areas facing up to a foot or more.
00:53The warning comes as many communities are still reeling from the last winter blast, not even a full week ago.
00:59In fact, this was New York City just a few days ago.
01:02Utility crews across parts of the South are racing to restore power, like you're seeing here in Tennessee.
01:08Thick ice brought down trees and power lines, leaving tens of thousands in the dark in Nashville, where this video was shot.
01:15At least 80 deaths are linked to the prolonged cold nationwide, and that number will likely increase this weekend.
