The Blizzard Even Affects Haiti

The same cold front that brought a dangerous blizzard through the mid-Atlantic is also responsible for bringing some of the first rain to Haiti since the earthquake.

"The blizzard was so massive for the eastern half of the U.S. that the storm pushed a cold front all the way down to Haiti," said AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Henry Margusity. "The front moving through is causing rain showers."

Port-au-Prince saw heavy rain Wednesday night that will continue through the day on Thursday and into Friday.

Highs for the day on Friday will linger in the upper 80s, with an AccuWeather.com RealFeel temperature of well over 100 degrees F.

The next chance for rain will be late Saturday evening and into Sunday as the next cold front moves through.

As the next snow maker heads toward the Northeast early next week, Haiti can expect more spotty showers when the system moves out of the U.S. late next week.

The showers are drenching earthquake survivors in the tent camps of Port-au-Prince and aggravating the mosquito problem for the area.

The magnitude 7 earthquake rocked the island nation on January 12, killing over 200,000 and displacing millions from their homes.

The cold front from the recent blizzard was also responsible for 10 to 15 foot waves washing upon the northern shores of the eastern Caribbean Islands earlier in the week.

Haiti could see a similar threat for its northern shores as the next several fronts push through.
