A significant storm system threatens to continue creating weather hazards across the country on Wednesday, following a path of destruction that includes damaged homes, uprooted trees, and widespread power outages.
The National Weather Service predicts heavy snowfall in parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley and Upper Great Lakes. Central to eastern Wisconsin is expected to receive 6 to 12 inches of snow, prompting winter storm warnings.
Blizzard warnings are in effect for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Northern New York State through central to northern New England should also prepare for heavy snow on Wednesday afternoon, with the service forecasting 6 to 18 inches of snowfall across northern New York state, New Hampshire, much of Vermont and Maine, and parts of northern Massachusetts.
Travel conditions are likely to be challenging, with power outages expected as well, according to the service. Additionally, the large storm system will bring showers and severe thunderstorms to the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the southeast, meteorologists said.
The weather service's slight risk of severe thunderstorms warned of the possibility of frequent lightning, strong wind gusts, hail, and "a few tornadoes" on Wednesday and Thursday. Conditions in the southeast and mid-Atlantic are expected to improve by Friday, the service said.
Widespread flood watches are in effect from the upper Ohio Valley into the Central Appalachians and the Mid-Atlantic, as these areas are expected to receive the heaviest rainfall totals.
