A winter storm moving across the U.S. threatening blizzard conditions, tornadoes, flooding and more this week.
"This winter storm is a true coast-to-coast, top-to-bottom impact that will be felt by every person in the country at some point this week," CNN Meteorologist Brandon Miller said.
"Snow accumulations through Tuesday morning will generally range between 6 to 12 inches, centered on the Northern High Plains," the weather prediction center said. "The highest snow totals are currently forecast for western South Dakota and northwestern Nebraska, where upwards of 18 to 24 inches is possible."
"All preparations for this storm should be well underway and completed sooner rather than later," the National Weather Service office in Rapid City said. Icing is also possible across southwestern Minnesota and western Iowa, where as much as a tenth of an inch of ice could develop.While the storm brings whiteout conditions to the North, the southern section of the storm will have the potential to bring late-season tornadoes along with strong thunderstorms.
As the storm system strengthens and pushes eastward on Tuesday, the possibility of damaging winds, hail, flash flooding and even strong tornadoes will be a concern for portions of the Deep South, especially central Louisiana and eastern Texas. By Wednesday, the storms are not expected to be quite as intense, but could still be strong along the Gulf Coast. New Orleans, Mobile and Tallahassee are all under a Level 2 of 5 risk of severe weather, as the potential for tornadoes will still exist.
"The snowpack is about 225% of normal, so it's more than twice what we'd be expecting this time in December," said Mark Deutschendorf, forecaster at the National Weather Service office in Reno.
