Wolf Moon Rising this Weekend, Coinciding with a Massive Winter Storm 

The first full moon of January will rise this weekend, coinciding with a massive winter storm that is expected to wallop parts of the U.S. East Coast with snow and ice. 
Full moons can incite a whole host of fears and superstitions, but tomorrow’s full moon will have one real effect: It will bring with it high tides that could exacerbate the impending blizzard.

The moon is expected to be full tomorrow (Jan. 23) at 8:46 p.m. ET, according to NASA, resulting in higher-than-normal coastal tides. These conditions, combined with winds gusting at 40 to 50 miles per hour (64 to 80 km/h) from this weekend’s winter storm (dubbed Jonas), could cause some coastal flooding.

The full Wolf moon – or January’s full moon – will be visible this weekend (23/24 January). It is thought to have been dubbed the wolf moon by Native American tribes because at this time of year wolves would often howl in their search for scarce prey.
