Winter weather is making its presence felt across the United States, with a significant shift in focus on Monday. After a snowy weekend in the Midwest, the storm systems are now concentrated farther south. Snowfall is expected to affect areas including Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina, with winter storm warnings in effect for parts of Virginia.
Residents in these eastern states should prepare for potentially hazardous evening commutes as snow accumulates. Forecasts predict varying amounts of snow across several regions, including Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and West Virginia. The snow is expected to taper off by Monday evening, but the lingering effects could make travel challenging.
Concurrently, the Pacific Northwest is preparing for a severe weather event. An atmospheric river is poised to deliver substantial rainfall to Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, placing millions under a flood watch. This intense precipitation raises concerns about dangerous flooding, potential landslides, and debris flows, with some areas anticipating over 10 inches of rain by Wednesday.
