AccuWeather meteorologists predict the storm will undergo rapid strengthening offshore, producing blizzard conditions in some states, including Massachusetts.

"Not only will the storm evolve into a significant nor'easter with strong winds and heavy snow along parts of the Atlantic coast, but it may become a bomb cyclone as it begins to move away," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill.
