"Spring Storm System Brings Tornadoes, Snow, and Highway Collapse Across U.S."

A spring storm system is expected to bring tornadoes, heavy rain, strong winds, and snow across a large portion of the U.S., putting about 38 million people at risk for severe weather. The storm is predicted to affect areas from Texas to Illinois, with the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and even EF2 tornadoes. The risk of severe weather will shift eastward into Tennessee and the Ohio River Valley, with heavy snow likely in New England. Additionally, heavy rain and flooding are expected in the Ohio River Valley, and parts of the north could see up to 18 inches of snow. The same system brought severe flooding to California over Easter weekend, leading to stranded drivers and a plane crash in Truckee.
