Arctic Blast and Tornado Threats Slam U.S. in Historic Storm
A sprawling and dangerous storm system is gripping the United States, delivering a mix of blizzard conditions, high winds and severe thunderstorms that are already affecting millions. The Upper Midwest is seeing heavy snow, with parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin buried under more than a foot of snow and blizzard warnings in effect. Roads are becoming treacherously slick and visibility is near zero in some areas, prompting officials to urge drivers to stay off the roads. Air travel is also in chaos, with hundreds of cancellations at major hubs including Minneapolis-Saint Paul and Chicago O’Hare.
Meanwhile, the Plains and Mid-South are contending with damaging winds and the looming threat of tornadoes. As the storm pushes eastward, forecasters are warning of a significant severe weather outbreak from the Mississippi Valley into the Mid-Atlantic. Cities such as Washington, D.C., Richmond and Raleigh could see destructive gusts and quick-spinning tornadoes Monday, while widespread power outages are already affecting hundreds of thousands from Ohio to Michigan.
