As tornadoes pound Eastern Central USA & Major floods hit Brazil, Peru & Columbia we've got round after round of storm after storm after storm on the way for most places in the USA & Canada. So stay alert & be prepared. God Bless everyone, T @newTHOR on twitter https://facebook.com/thornewsgo articles on the weather http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/major-storm-to-hit-northeastern-us-with-high-winds-flooding-and-snow-late-this-week/70001291 Travel and outdoor plans will take a hit in the northeastern United States as a major storm with heavy rain, strong winds and snow takes aim during the second half of this week. "The storm has the potential to be the strongest in a series to hit the Northeast since late March and through the first week of April," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson. Motorists and airline passengers should anticipate delays. Major League Baseball (MLB) games could be delayed or postponed as a result of the storm. The storm could have damaging consequences in terms of severe thunderstorms, powerful wind gusts and flooding from heavy rain and above-normal tides. The storm will first quickly spread drenching rain and severe weather across the Southeast states from late Tuesday through Wednesday night. However, as the storm approaches the Northeast states, it will reorganize near the coast and stall. Storm to raise risk of urban, small stream and river flooding The slow forward motion of the storm and a surge of warm air along the Atlantic coast will result in a prolonged rain event for some areas that can escalate runoff and lead to flooding. Since streams and rivers will already be running high from prior storms and runoff, a general 1-3 inches of rain and locally higher amounts can pose a significant problem. The greatest risk of stream and river flooding will be in upstate New York and New England into this weekend. However, isolated urban flooding can occur throughout the Northeast as the heaviest rain rotates through on Thursday. Some MLB games that could be affected by rain on Thursday include the Pittsburgh Pirates versus Boston Red Sox in Boston, the Atlanta Braves versus New York Mets in New York City and the Miami Marlins versus Washington Nationals in Washington, D.C. Severe weather may target mid-Atlantic on Thursday The greatest risk for severe weather in the Northeast will be limited to Thursday and generally confined to the mid-Atlantic region. A spring storm moving through the Rockies early this week will keep the chance of accumulating April snow alive in Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. This cold storm over the Southwest will strengthen as it swings into the central Plains. As a result, “more snow is set to strike the Four Corners early this week,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Brett Rathbun said. Despite pleasant temperatures to close out the weekend, this storm will coat Utah and Arizona with snow mainly from through Tuesday morning. The Grand Staircase National Monument National Park in Utah can anticipate at least an aesthetically pleasing coating of snow to accumulate through Tuesday morning. In Arizona, those visiting Grand Canyon National Park will need to drive cautiously on Tuesday as roads leading to and from the area will be slick with fresh snow from Monday night. The swath of higher terrain stretching through the Gila National Forest in New Mexico can also expect snow showers into Tuesday morning. Much like last week, portions of interstates 70 and 25, west and south of Denver will face wintry weather. While daytime temperatures reached into the seasonable upper 50s F on Monday, Denver is no stranger to springtime snow. “Despite March being the snowiest month across Denver, they still average 7 inches of snow in April,” Rathbun said. “However, the heaviest snow will fall across the Colorado Rockies and along the Palmer Divide,” he explained. Residents of the Denver area can expect some snow to accumulate mostly on raised and grassy surfaces. Snow showers on Tuesday could extend as far northward as Fort Collins, Colorado, and eastward into the plains of eastern Colorado. “A nice warmup will be in store for the remainder of the week,” said Rathbun. An area of high pressure is expected to fill in behind the storm, providing several days of dry, calm weather in the Southwest.
