Back-to-back storm systems will bring the potential for severe weather and flooding to the South over the next several days. Strong thunderstorms could produce damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes, with the greatest threat stretching from Texas to Georgia.
The latest in a parade of winter storms swept across parts of the U.S. Wednesday, including Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The system, named Winter Storm Iliana, followed a storm the day before that left parts of Virginia and other areas covered in ice. That system was named Harlow.
After dropping dangerous amounts of rain and snow in California and throughout the West Coast, Winter Storm Jett is set to swing through the Rockies, Midwest, Appalachians and Northeast with heavy snow. Cities like Salt Lake City, Chicago, Omaha and Detroit are likely to pick up substantial amounts of snow. The storm could also bring more flooding and severe weather to the South by this weekend.
