Monster Storm Threatens 200-Million In Central, Eastern U.S.
(Undated) — Nearly two out of three Americans are in the path of a storm forecast to hammer the central and eastern U.S. with heavy snow, drenching rain, and flooding. The slow-moving storm could dump as much as two feet of snow on parts of the Plains and Upper Midwest beginning today. Wind gusts up to 70 miles and hour will accompany the precipitation. Blizzard warnings are out for parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. After the storm passes, melting snow will ramp up the flood threat in the north-central U.S. over the next few weeks. West Texas and New Mexico won’t see snow but winds gusting to 90 miles an hour today will create a high risk of wildfires.
