Snow, Winds, and Severe Weather All on Deck For Central and Eastern U.S.

A cornucopia of weather impacts is marching across the central and eastern U.S. as multiple storms coming from the West present a wide array of hazards. While the northern edge of the nation deals with ice and snow, the southern tier will be facing the threat of severe thunderstorms. Read on for all of the details of this multifaceted weather pattern.

Wild Week of Weather on Deck for the Eastern Two-Thirds of the Nation

Snow, ice, high winds, and thunderstorms are all on the table this week across the central and eastern portions of the country. The rapid warmup will also raise the risk of ice jams as the late-winter thaw begins.

Significantly warmer temperatures are spreading across the eastern two-thirds of the country this week, supporting the development of wild weather for millions of Americans as the warmth clashes with the cold air. The week started with a powerful storm moving ashore in California. This system will push to the east as the week progresses, ejecting out of the northern Rockies and into the north-central U.S. before crawling into the Northeast. Forecasters are warning that more storms will follow on the heels of this early-week event.
