Massive U.S. Storm Unleashes Snow, Flooding & Fierce Winds—Is Your Area at Risk?

Share news:

A powerful storm is sweeping across the United States, bringing a mix of heavy snow, strong winds, and rain that could make travel dangerous for millions of people.

This system, which first brought some much-needed rain to wildfire-hit areas in Southern California, is now moving eastward, impacting almost every region along the way. By the time it’s done, it will have affected over 300 million Americans.

In the Southwest, winter weather is already making an impact. Snow fell across Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park late Monday into Tuesday, making roads and trails icy. By Wednesday morning, rain showers moved through Phoenix and central Arizona, with higher elevations—above 4,000 feet—seeing snowfall.

New Mexico is next in line, with snow expected to increase across the western and northern parts of the state from Wednesday into Thursday. Forecasters warn that strong winds could make driving conditions difficult, especially in east and south-central areas.

Colorado residents should also be ready for icy and snow-covered roads, which could make Thursday morning commutes tricky.

Meanwhile, another system could bring fast-moving snow squalls to parts of the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, New England, and the Northeast. These squalls bring sudden, heavy snowfall that can dramatically reduce visibility, making driving especially dangerous.

Further south and east, the storm is expected to bring heavy rain, leading to possible flooding. States from Texas to Kentucky could see up to 7 inches of rain in some areas. This is a double-edged sword for cities like San Antonio and Austin, which have been dealing with extreme drought. While the rain is welcome, getting too much too fast could lead to flooding.

To add to the storm’s punch, parts of Texas might see severe thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday. Forecasters warn of possible hail and damaging winds that could cause power outages.

As this massive weather system continues its journey across the country, travelers and residents should stay alert for updates and be prepared for changing conditions.
