At Least One Death Connected To Winter Storm Marching Across U.S.
At least one death is being blamed on a winter storm that is set to impact 20 states as it treks east across the U.S. The Missouri State Highway Patrol's central region reported a fatal crash between midnight and 11 a.m. Wednesday. Police in the city of Holts Summit, about 100 miles west of St. Louis, confirmed a young child was killed in a single-engine rollover crash around 7 a.m. Later in the morning, the highway patrol continued to warn drivers to stay off the roads statewide. The system, named Winter Storm Iliana by The Weather Channel, prompted the governors of Missouri and Kansas to declare states of emergency and shut down schools in Kansas City, Des Moines and Omaha. The storm brought about 1 to 3 inches of snow to parts of Montana, and up to 6 inches to parts of Kansas, southern Nebraska and Iowa as of Wednesday afternoon. Hundreds of flights were canceled or delayed at airports in Chicago and St. Louis, according to The system is the second in as many days to impact a wide swath of the U.S., from the West Coast, across the Plains and Midwest, into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Among the hardest hit states is Virginia, where more than 180,000 homes, businesses and other utility customers were without electricity as of about 1:40 p.m. ET Wednesday, according to Iliana brought freezing rain to the region Wednesday. On Tuesday, Winter Storm Harlow had the Virginia National Guard scrambling to help and led to more than 700 crashes statewide. You can read our live updates here from that storm. This week will bring even more winter weather as a parade of winter storms makes its way eastward. Next up is Winter Storm Jett, forecast to move from the Pacific into California later this week, bringing a risk of debris flows in areas around Los Angeles burned by recent wildfires. The weather is part of what our meteorologists call a "kitchen sink" weather pattern delivering everything from snow, ice and flooding to record heat across different parts of the country this week. "In the meteorological world, it means we are checking the box of multiple major conditions within several days," senior meteorologist Chris Dolce wrote in this article explaining what we're tracking right now. -February Is A Winter Month, And Mother Nature Is Finally Putting An End To Fool's Spring -Here Are The Winter Storm Names For 2024-2025 -10 Winter Essentials To Pack In Your Car staff writer Jan Childs covers breaking news and features related to weather, space, climate change, the environment and everything in between.

'Kitchen Sink' Weather Pattern Delivering Winter Storms, Severe Weather, Flooding, Arctic Air And Record Heat
We've all probably heard the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink" at some point in our lives, and sometimes the atmosphere does its rendition of this expression like we are seeing right now in the U.S. In the meteorological world, it means we are checking the box of multiple major conditions within several days, except for a hurricane in this case. Let's briefly step through everything we are watching, from multiple winter storms to severe weather, flooding rain, a debris flow threat, arctic cold and even record warmth. -The first storm, named Harlow by The Weather Channel, is spreading snow and ice from the Ohio Valley into the mid-Atlantic through Tuesday night. It will exit the East Coast by Wednesday morning. -On its heels is Winter Storm Iliana's snowfall from the Plains to the Great Lakes and Northeast Tuesday night-Thursday. -Finally, a third winter storm entering California Thursday will bring more snow to parts of the Midwest and Northeast this weekend, but details are still a bit uncertain for those regions. -The warm side of those winter storms will produce severe weather in a first-round Wednesday, especially from eastern Louisiana to central and southern Mississippi and Alabama. Wind damage and a couple of tornadoes are possible. -A second round of severe weather could materialize Saturday and Saturday night from eastern Texas to western Georgia and southern and middle Tennessee. Damaging winds could accompany those storms, and a tornado threat is possible. -Heavy rain could produce localized flooding in the South through Wednesday, from eastern Texas to the southern Appalachians. -This weekend, the flood threat might encompass parts of the South, Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic. Some of those northern areas will see rainfall on top of saturated ground from melting snowpack, which is a setup that can worsen flooding. -This is the beginning stages of the third winter storm mentioned earlier, but it stands on its own as a major event. -Lighter rain enters the picture Wednesday, but then a bigger soaking packing gusty winds takes shape in the Golden State Thursday into Thursday night. This brings up the concern for flooding and debris flows in Southern California's fire-ravaged burn areas. Recently saturated areas in Northern California might see renewed localized flooding too, including around the Bay Area. -On top of that, the Sierra Nevada will see feet of wind-driven, heavy snowfall, likely severely impacting travel through passes. -Piling onto this active weather pattern is a pair of arctic air intrusions. -The worst of the first bout has already engulfed the central U.S. and will keep temperatures there as much as 20 to 40 degrees colder than average through Thursday morning. Some of that cold air will spread into the South and East in a more muted form late week. -Right behind it is another bout of arctic air nosediving into the central states over the weekend. That batch of chilly air will then spread to the South and East early next week. -Yep, you read that right. Amid the shivering temperatures in the central states, Florida is threatening daily record highs this week. -Orlando was forecast to approach its daily record highs of 88 degrees and 89 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Fort Myers, Daytona Beach and Tampa could flirt with daily record highs on at least one day from Wednesday through Saturday.

Winter Storm Iliana A Widespread Snow, Ice Threat From Plains To Northeast, Including Chicago, Kansas City
More than 20 states will feel the impacts of the second winter storm to track through the Lower 48 this week as it brings snow and some ice from the Plains to the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast. This system has been named Iliana by The Weather Channel and it's following on the heels of a separate winter storm named Harlow, which you can find out more about at this link. (MORE: Why Winter Storms Are Named) The National Weather Service has issued winter storm watches and warnings for this storm from the central Plains to the Great Lakes, including Kansas City, Chicago, Milwaukee and the northwest suburbs of Detroit. Here's a look at what to expect from Iliana as well as a brief head's up on a potential third winter storm following in its wake late this week into the weekend. -Tuesday night: Snow develops from the Front Range of the Rockies to the central Plains. Denver, Kansas City and Omaha, Nebraska, could all see snowfall develop during this time. Light freezing drizzle could develop from the Texas Panhandle into western and central Oklahoma and the Ozarks overnight. -Wednesday: Snow and ice will spread into the Midwest, Great Lakes and mid-Atlantic states during the day. Snowfall is likely to impact travel in cities like Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee, especially later in the day. Icing from freezing rain and sleet could be a concern from Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the Ozarks of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas into parts of the Midwest. A mix of sleet, freezing rain and snow might develop in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. areas before changing to rain. -Wednesday night-Thursday: The storm will finish up in the Great Lakes and Northeast. Snow and gusty winds continue Wednesday night in Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit, but will taper off by Thursday. Boston and New York City could see snow before changing to a wintry mix, then rain. - In the Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes, the heaviest snow totals could be 5 or more inches from Kansas to northern Missouri, southern and eastern Iowa, southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois, northern Indiana and Michigan. Chicago could see its heaviest snowstorm so far this season if it tops 2.9 inches at O'Hare Airport. Those heavier totals of 5 inches or more will also impact parts of upstate New York and northern New England. -Parts of southern New England to the New York tri-state area will likely see lighter amounts ranging from a coating to a few inches. -Icing could be at least enough to slicken untreated roads from central Oklahoma into the Ozarks. More substantial icing that could damage trees and power lines is possible in the central Appalachians. If that wasn't enough, a strong Pacific storm forecast to come ashore in California and surge into the Mountain West late this week could eventually become another significant winter storm in the Plains, Midwest and Northeast by this weekend. That could also wring out more heavy rain in the South and even some severe t-storms, there. Check back with us at for the latest updates on this active stormy pattern.
