About 15 million people from Louisiana to North Carolina are at risk of severe weather ahead of the developing system today, according to CNN meteorologist Haley Brink.
The weathermaker’s advance average temperature will rise north of the Gulf of Mexico. The unstable air of the system will cause hazardous winds, scattered tornadoes and heavy rains. Rainfall will add up to an inch for many people, including a higher average alone, which can cause flooding in areas.
The system will strengthen on its track towards the east coast on Monday, with fears of heavy storms in the Mid-Atlantic and heavy rains in the Northeast.
“It will also produce snow for parts of the U.S., as we begin a new work week. We expect 2 to 4 inches of snow for Great Lakes, 8 inches possible near Erie Lake. Light snow and sleet in the following cards Brink said the app will not be limited to the Great Lakes, even in the Placion and southeastern parts.
That’s because cold, wintery air will descend from Canada in the wake of the system. For many, the temperature drop will be the lowest since last winter, resulting in temperatures as low as 20 degrees below normal for this time of year.
Florida, too, cannot escape the cold. The winds of Sunshine State will bite him a little through Midwick, which rises from the highs of the 80s over the weekend to the early morning temperatures of the 30s and 40s on Wednesdays.
Winter officially begins on Monday, December 21st.
