Weather advisories were issued to states within the northeastern US and the Great Lakes in advance of a blizzard that pounded the region with high winds and heavy snowfall.
Late-winter storms are threatening to unleash deadly flooding and winds in the New York City area through Monday night — as DC braced for possible tornadoes and the Southwest faced a record heat wave . The Northeast, including the metro region, was facing thunderstorms, wicked winds and violent downpours that could lead to about 2 inches of rain, AccuWeather warned.
“There can be some relatively brief but fairly intense burst of rain and that can result in some flooding concerns especially in poor drainage areas and places that typically can have flooding in the urban environment,” said AccuWeather chief meteorologist Jonathan Porter. The nation’s capital also is at risk for severe thunderstorms, with gusts in some areas potentially reaching as high as 100 mph Monday, Porter said.Gunfire at crowded Florida beach sends sunbathers scattering as violence erupts during spring break Shocking Oscars aftermath pic exposes climate hypocrisy of celebs: 'Where’s all that "protect the planet" energy now?' “Gusts to 100 mph in the most intense thunderstorms can’t be ruled out,” he told The Post — adding there is even the chance of tornadoes forming. The local big chill also will continue through the wet stuff, with the Big Apple set to only hit a high of 41 degrees Tuesday, the expert said.The skies in the region will clear before the end of the work week, although temperatures will get cooler –keeping the area locked into a chilly trend that has seen several feet of snow dumped on it since January. The Midwest already had around 2 feet of snow as of early Monday, with Spalding, Mich., receiving 26 inches and Wausaukee, Wisc., getting 25 inches. “There can be some areas even into later this week where there can be pockets of rain or snow across the Great Lakes and into portions of the interior Northeast, but it looks like a less active pattern in general across much of the country,” Porter said.The exception to the cold will be a possible “record-setting heat wave” across the Southwest, the meteorologist said. A heat dome in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona will shoot temperatures into the 90s and possibly even break 100 degrees – which would be at least two months ahead of the average temps, he said. Downtown Los Angeles could break that 100-degree mark this week — and if its heat wave lasts five days, that will break the four-day heat-wave record set for this time of year in 2015. Phoenix also will likely deal with highs near 101 degrees Wednesday and 106 degrees Thursday while Las Vegas is expected to grapple with 100 degree temps later this week and into next weekend. “There can be multiple daily record high temperatures that can be challenged or broken or even some monthly records in parts of the Southwestern United States with a very impressive and unusual early season heat wave in those areas,” Porter said.Gunfire at crowded Florida beach sends sunbathers scattering as violence erupts during spring break Shocking Oscars aftermath pic exposes climate hypocrisy of celebs: 'Where’s all that "protect the planet" energy now?'Timothée Chalamet’s ‘dismissive’ sister gave Kylie Jenner the ‘cold shoulder’ in Oscars exchange: expert4 Big Reasons Timothée Chalamet Lost That Oscar Taylor Frankie Paul Accused Of Spoiling ‘The Bachelorette’ After Fight With Baby Daddy Halts Production On ‘SLOMW’ Season 5: “ABC Should Actually Punish Her”JIM LO SCALZO/EPA/Shutterstock Stream It Or Skip It: 'The Madison' On Paramount+, Where Michelle Pfeiffer Is A New York Woman Who Goes To Montana To Deal With Her Grief After A Tragedy
