Powerful Storm Could Affect About 200 Million People In The US

A powerful storm will hit much of the country as of today and for the next two or three days. Heavy snowfall, ice and torrential rains could affect about 200 million inhabitants in the United States from coast to coast.

Today, the storm has left snow in the Rockies and on the plains, including New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas. Snow and ice are expected to affect west and central Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota, and possibly Missouri and Iowa as the day progresses, the Weather Channel reported.
A narrow area will receive icy rain which could complicate the roads in central-West Texas, Central Oklahoma, South Missouri and northwest Arkansas.
Tonight, the snow could spread to the northeast at the top of the Midwest and the Great Lakes. A mixture of snow, sleet, and icy rain could expand from downtown Missouri to the Ohio Valley.

Tomorrow it is predicted that the inhabitants of Washington D.C., Baltimore and Philadephia receive a strong accumulation of snow in the morning, from 3 to 6 inches, before going to a mixture of sleet, icy rain and then drizzle in the afternoon and night. This will make the transfer in the morning and afternoon in those cities dangerous.
New York City could see up to a couple of inches of snow on Wednesday afternoon before the rain arrives at night. Snow can affect the transfer of the afternoon in the Tri-state area. On the same Wednesday night, snow and ice will spread throughout New England with up to 6 inches. In Boston, snow is likely to turn into rain.
In the south of the country, heavy rains and floods and even severe storms are expected on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Up to half a foot of rain could flood much of North Mississippi, north of Alabama and Tennessee, where there are flood warnings.
In Florida, the unusual heat of a early summer is expected to continue on Tuesday and most of the week. In the sunshine state, the temperatures could reach 80 degrees. Several state cities established historic peaks on Monday, including Vero Beach, which achieved a historic record of 89 degrees in February.
