Discover the latest on thunderstorms and snowfall hitting the U.S., as Amy Freeze offers expert forecasts and safety advice.
Storms are sweeping across the United States today, moving from the Pacific Northwest towards the Great Plains. In Washington, light rain is ongoing in the Seattle area, but as we turn our eyes eastward, we see heavier precipitation developing in the states of Montana and Wyoming, where rain is falling and snow begins to accumulate in higher elevations. The snow could significantly impact travel through the northern Rockies. Severe weather is brewing in the Southern Plains. Texas is facing intense rain, particularly in Houston, where heavy downpours may lead to flash flooding. As we transition north, light rain reaches parts of Oklahoma, but Arkansas is bracing for thunderstorms that could bring severe conditions later this afternoon, particularly in Little Rock. As we continue east, the southeastern U.S. may be expecting some scattered showers, especially in Alabama and Georgia, though Atlanta may remain mostly dry for now. Over in the East Coast, snow showers are lingering over parts of New York and New England, especially impacting areas such as Albany, where residents should prepare for slippery conditions. Travelers should be cautious across much of the Midwest, where rain is mixing with snow, creating slick roads from Chicago toward Minneapolis. In the upper Midwest, snow may persist in areas near the North Dakota border. The storms currently affecting Texas and the Southern Plains are likely to be the most disruptive today, affecting multiple states with both rain and severe weather alerts in place.
