Strong, long-track tornadoes could develop from Iowa to Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi Friday evening.Among those at risk for tornadoes is an area that was hit by deadly storms last weekend. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden visited one of those locations -- Rolling Fork, Mississippi -- on Friday.
"Jill and I are here to show our support," Biden said during remarks in the town on Friday, standing amid the destruction. "I know there's a lot of pain and it's hard to believe in a moment like this, this community's going to be rebuilt, and rebuilt back better than it was before."In addition to tornadoes, damaging winds and huge hail are possible with Friday's storms.
The storm system moves into the Northeast on Saturday with some severe weather possible for Pennsylvania and upstate New York and even northern New Jersey. Damaging winds will be the biggest threat for the Northeast. There is a wintry part to this storm, with blizzard warnings issued for South Dakota and Minnesota, where more than half a foot of snow and 45 mph wind gusts are possible.
