Snow and Wind Batter Parts of US, with Threat of Thunderstorms and Tornadoes Starting Later Sunday

The storm caused over 150,000 power outages in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, with heavy snow, flooding, and severe thunderstorms impacting multiple U.S. regions.

  • Severe weather rumbled across much of the United States on Sunday, dumping heavy snow in the Upper Midwest while damaging high winds swept across the Plains, with storms beginning Sunday afternoon in the Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio valleys.
  • Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen warned that winds were "supposed to be extraordinary on Sunday" as three major wildfires damaged well over 900 square miles, including the Morrill County fire that burned over 700 square miles, prompting deployment of about 30 Nebraska National Guard.
  • More than 600 flights were canceled at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport with dozens more through Detroit scrapped, while roughly 150,000 utility customers in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan remained without power after Friday's gusts reached 85 mph, and more than a foot of snow fell across portions of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
  • The National Weather Service warned that severe thunderstorms with widespread damaging winds and several tornadoes were expected to reach the East Coast during Monday, with a stretch from South Carolina to Maryland most likely to experience particularly damaging winds that could impact Raleigh, Richmond and Washington, D.C.
  • AccuWeather senior meteorologist Tyler Roys warned that successive punches of severe weather will span from the U.S.-Mexico border to the Great Lakes and from Denver to the Appalachian Mountains, while Hawaii battled ongoing flash flooding on Maui, Molokai and the Big Island with about 48,000 residents without power.
