Texas, Southern U.S. Under Threat of Severe Storm: Heavy Snow, Flood, Tornadoes Coming

Texas and other states in the southern region of the United States are under the threat of multiple weather disturbances starting Wednesday.

USA Today reported that a "large-scale, multi-hazard storm" will hamper the region from Wednesday through Friday morning.

On Wednesday morning, wind gusts over 40 mph and as high as 75 mph in isolated spots were recorded, per Yahoo! News. The gust of winds was reportedly combined with low humidity prompting fire dangers across parts of Western Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

The National Weather Service (NWS) also noted that strong winds will cross the southern part of New Mexico and West Texas, where high Wind Warnings were issued as the agency expects wind gusts that could reach up to 65 mph.

Red Flag warnings were in effect on the said areas to provide a heads up for potential rapid-fire ignition and spread.

Meanwhile, the northern part of Texas to the northern part of New England is expected to experience snow. Reports noted that South Central Kansas through Central Missouri, northern Illinois, and Central Michigan have the greatest chance of disruptive snow.

The Weather Channel named the weather system Winter Storm Miles.

USA Weather: Severe Weather Warning Issued Over Possible Tornadoes

Aside from fire, snow, and wind warning, reports noted tornadoes and severe storms to the south-central region of the U.S. from Wednesday evening through Thursday.

The first round of severe weather began tonight, Wednesday, in Oklahoma and North Texas. Threats of thunderstorms in the said area were expected to be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.

NBC News noted that thunderstorms charging across the Southeastern region of the U.S. will impact the metro areas of Memphis, Nashville, Birmingham, Little Rock, Jackson, Shreveport, and Louisville.

Severe Weather Warning: Storm System to Reach East Coast by Friday

By Thursday night into Friday, the storm system will reach the East Coast. However, the storm will cause heavy rains in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, while snow will still fall over England.

However, heavy rains that can cause dangerous flash flooding from the southern Plains hampered the southern Appalachians from Wednesday night through Thursday night. The rainfall forecast was also expected to receive 1-3 inches of rain through Friday.

Temperatures will also be affected by the storm system, as the center of the country is expected to have a temperature drop from 20 to 40 degrees in less than 24 hours. Temperatures in the plains and the Midwest is expected to be 10-20 degrees below the average temperatures in the region.

As the storm system is expected to touch the East coast by Friday, the NWS noted that the region is expected to experience a wet morning rush hour. However, the East Coast is expected to hit 10-20 degrees above average on Thursday. Reports noted that Boston is expected to have a daily record hit of 61 degrees.
