A powerful winter storm is set to bring severe weather and potential power outages to much of the country this week. The storm will impact almost two dozen states, with up to 12 inches of snow expected in some areas. Strong winds could create blizzard conditions and cause power outages in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, and the Northeast.
The storm will also bring drier air and lower humidity to parts of the Southwest, increasing the risk of wildfires in New Mexico and Texas. A state of emergency was declared in South Carolina, where multiple wildfires were burning and forcing evacuations.
In addition to the winter storm, a cold front meeting warm air from the Gulf could trigger severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, and possibly tornadoes in the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday. Flash flooding could occur in areas already experiencing heavy rainfall, such as Ohio and Tennessee.
The disruptive weather has the potential to cause widespread travel delays and flight cancellations. Residents are advised to stay informed about the forecast and take necessary precautions to stay safe during this extreme weather event.
