As a harsh winter weather system approaches, the United States is bracing itself for a weekend of severe conditions. Heavy rains and flooding have already struck the Southeast, while snow and frigid temperatures are expected to blanket much of the Northeast and Plains regions. In this post, we'll provide five key insights into this developing situation.

Insight #1 Flash Flooding Hits Kentucky

A devastating flash flood has struck parts of Kentucky, resulting in at least one fatality in Clay County. The heavy rainfall has caused widespread flooding, with water submerging cars and buildings, and mudslides blocking roads in Virginia. In response, flood warnings have been issued across the region.

Insight #2 Snow Expected in Northeast and Plains

A polar vortex stretching event is forecast to bring significant snowfall to much of New England, with accumulations reaching up to a foot or more in some areas. Frigid temperatures are also expected to hit the Midwest and Upper Plains, making travel extremely hazardous.

The National Weather Service has issued flash flood warnings for the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio valleys, with heavy rain expected to cause widespread damage.

Insight #4 Emergency Declarations Issued

In response to the impending flooding, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has declared a state of emergency, while West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey issued a state of emergency for 10 southern counties due to heavy rains and flooding. These declarations will enable state resources to be deployed in support of local authorities.

Insight #5 Winter Weather Advisories Issued

Winter weather advisories have been issued for parts of the Midwest, Upper Plains, and Michigan, with up to 4 inches of snow expected in some areas. Residents are advised to stay indoors, make provisions to shelter livestock and other animals as extreme cold sets in, and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
