USA: From Flight Disruptions to Blizzard Warnings: Winter Storm’s Impact Across Multiple States

Severe winter storms are causing widespread disruptions across the United States, with over 1,800 flights canceled and blizzard conditions expected in the Midwest and Great Lakes.

Blizzard warnings cover six states with snowfall projections of 6 to 12 inches. The storm system also brings damaging winds, hail, and potential tornadoes from Texas to the Carolinas.

Flood watches are issued in the Northeast, exacerbating existing flooding concerns. A record-breaking cold blast will follow, with up to 100 record-low temperatures forecast. Another storm system is anticipated over the weekend, bringing snow and ice from the South to the Rockies.
