AccuWeather: “Massive Storm” To Hit Nation Hard

January 3, 2025 News, Weather

AccuWeather reports:

A massive storm is expected to bring both wintry and severe weather to millions of Americans as early as this weekend, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. “Over a dozen states are forecast to be impacted by one or more aspects of this storm,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham.

The storm emerging from the Rockies late on Saturday is forecast to deliver a far-reaching swath of ice and snow across the middle of the country.

The intrusion of bitterly cold, Arctic air into the middle of the country will set the stage for wintry weather in the Plains, starting on Saturday. Snowflakes could fly as far south as northern Oklahoma. Meanwhile, enough snow to shovel and plow will extend for about 1,000 miles from central Nebraska to Ohio through early Monday.

The Weather Channel reports: 

Snow, potentially heavy at times, will stretch from Kansas to West Virginia during the day. Gusty winds will accompany the snow in some areas, leading to reduced visibility.

A wintry mess of sleet, freezing and snow is expected just south of the area of heaviest snowfall, from northeast Oklahoma and southeast Kansas to parts of the mid-Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley and Appalachians.

T​ravel should be avoided throughout the areas where snow and ice is expected. That includes Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Louisville and St. Louis. Sunday night, the storm’s wintry weather will have spread as far east as the mid-Atlantic region, including Baltimore, Pittsbugh and Washington, D.C., leading to increasingly hazardous travel.

The internet is having its fun with the AccuWeather graphic.
