A powerful storm system is set to impact over 100 million people in the U.S. starting Friday, bringing a mix of intense weather events across the nation. The National Weather Service warns of strong winds, risking fires in the southern plains, while northern areas may face blizzard conditions. Severe thunderstorms, capable of producing tornadoes and hail, threaten the Central Gulf Coast and upper Ohio Valley. This potent storm is driven by significant temperature contrasts typical for spring, according to meteorologist Benjamin Reppert. An anticipation of strong winds and flooding risks is highlighted as it tracks eastward over the weekend.
More than 100 million people in the U.S. are in the path of a powerful March storm, with risks of fires, blizzards, tornadoes, and flooding.
Benjamin Reppert explains that spring is a notable time for extreme weather due to big temperature differences, which can enhance storm strength.
The severe weather event will span from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast, affecting multiple regions with wind gusts up to 80 mph.
Concerns of flooding and severe storms, including tornadoes and hail, are primarily focused on the Central Gulf Coast and the upper Ohio Valley.
