This week’s weather forecast includes the possibility of over two dozen tornadoes, a high fire risk, and a blizzard. A major storm is set to lash California and the western U.S. with heavy snow, rain, and damaging wind gusts, leading to evacuations in areas vulnerable to debris flow and mudslides. The storm is expected to bring up to 3 feet of snow to the Sierra Nevada mountains and significant rain to major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The rain may lead to flooding, mudslides, and debris flows, particularly in areas affected by recent wildfires. The storm will also bring severe weather to the central U.S., with thunderstorms, large hail, and wind damage possible in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Over 100 million people in the central U.S. will be at risk of severe weather, including blizzard conditions in the northern Plains, tornadoes, and wildfires in the South. Travel conditions may be dangerous to impossible in the Sierra Nevada and northern California due to heavy snow and powerful wind gusts. The National Weather Service is monitoring the situation closely and advising residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions.
