Severe Weather Threat in South as Wind, Snow Target Parts of Plains, Midwest, East This Weekend

A storm system will bring another day of severe weather to parts of the South, snow from the Rockies and parts of the Plains to the Great Lakes and strong winds through the Midwest and East into this weekend. After Thursday, at least four tornadoes and wind gusts over 80 mph across the Central Plains, more severe weather is in store.

Friday: Snow may linger from the central and southern Rockies into parts of the High Plains from southern Colorado and northern New Mexico into western Kansas and the Panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. Thunderstorms will become more numerous in parts of the South, from eastern Texas to the Tennessee Valley. Some rain showers will spread as far north as upstate New York and even New England.

Saturday: Snow is expected in parts of the western Great Lakes and upper Midwest, while more soaking rain spreads into the East as far north as parts of New England and upstate New York. Strong wind gusts are possible in much of the Midwest and East. Thunderstorms will linger in parts of the Southeast and could develop as far north as the mid-Atlantic ahead of the cold front.

Sunday: Wind will be the only remaining concern in the Midwest and East. Some showers may linger along parts of the East Coast, particularly eastern New England, especially in the morning. Wrap-around snow showers may linger from parts of the Great Lakes to the Appalachians, upstate New York, and northern New England.
