A widespread storm is moving through the U.S., bringing extreme conditions to various regions, including blizzards, wildfires and tornadoes.

Conversely, in areas that are warm and moist, there is a risk of severe thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes and heavy rainfall through Wednesday. This includes regions stretching from Louisiana and Arkansas to the Carolinas and further south, including Georgia and Florida.
In the western U.S., the weather service expects significant rainfall and one to two feet of snow at high elevations, such as the Sierra and Rocky Mountain ranges.
Blizzard warnings have been issued in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota through Wednesday. The NWS predicts six to 12 inches of snow from Iowa to upper Michigan.
