As US Recovers, Another Tornado Outbreak Possible This Week
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsWith parts of the U.S. still recovering from a destructive and deadly three-day tornado outbreak, a storm system moving from the Rockies to the East Coast may very well spawn another round of tornadoes this week, especially from the Midwest to parts of the Deep South. There were nearly 270 reported tornadoes last week, with the death toll reaching at least 44 in six states. At least 21 of those deaths were in North Carolina, according to The Associated Press. The first tornadoes hit Thursday in Oklahoma, where two were killed. Officials also reported seven deaths in Arkansas, seven in ...
New Storm System Bringing Dangerous Thunderstorms AND Snow!
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsAnother round of dangerous thunderstorms will sweep eastward across a large portion of the United States in the coming days, and this storm system will be accompanied by something that we may not have expected to hear about again until next winter -- a swath of accumulating snow. The thunderstorms will pound areas that have been hit hard by severe weather during what's been a very stormy month, spreading from the Plains on Thursday to the Southeast on Saturday. The snow will fall from the northern Rockies to the upper Midwest, with the chance for some late-season snow in parts of the interior ...
Joke's on the Northeast With April Fools' Snow
By not in system - AOL NewsBOSTON -- A no-joke April Fools' snowstorm descended upon parts of the Northeast early Friday, a cruel prank on a region that was finally enjoying a reprieve from its long, white winter. The spring snowstorm was expected to last through Friday morning -- April Fools' Day -- dropping up to 10 inches of snow in some areas in eastern New York and around New England, dispiriting people eager for spring after a long, snow-filled winter. In Portland, Maine, heavy wet snow clung to trees and street signs Friday morning. Robert F. Bukaty, AP A motorist passes a sign urging drivers to ...
Major Northeast Snowstorm Is No April Fools' Day Joke
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsAs the calendar changes from March to April, the Northeast will be hit with a winter storm beginning tonight that would be impressive even in the heart of winter. The result will be heavy snow and potential travel delays, downed tree limbs and power outages over a large portion of New England and upstate New York from tonight through Friday, April Fools' Day. The accumulating snow will extend southward into the mid-Atlantic region. Toby Talbot, AP Dave Jacobs tries to shovel out his car earlier this month in Montpelier, Vt. The heaviest snow will occur from the higher elevations ...
Near-Record Sierra Snow Good News to Parched Calif.
By not in system - AOL NewsSODA SPRINGS, Calif. -- Chris Rivest's father sent him from San Francisco to the family vacation cabin near the Sierra Nevada crest with a seemingly simple chore -- clear it and the driveway of snow. Easy for him to say. When Rivest arrived earlier this week at the cabin near Soda Springs, about 90 miles northeast of Sacramento, the snow was so deep it nearly touched the power lines crossing in front of the cabin. Snow was piled at least 10 feet high on top of the deck of the A-frame home. Rich Pedroncelli, AP A California Department of Transportation snow remover clears a road ...
April Could Shower Some of US With More Snow
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsLate-season snow has been fairly common from the western mountains to parts of the East Coast this year, and a persistent weather pattern of cooler-than-average temperatures and an active storm track means that more of the same is likely in the coming weeks. In other words, it might be April snow -- not showers -- that brings May flowers for some of us. A couple of late-season snow producers will be on the weather map this week alone, with the greatest threat being in interior parts of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast from Thursday night through Friday. A storm moving northward through this ...
More Snow, Flooding, Dangerous Thunderstorms This Weekend
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsIf the months were assigned personalities, then March would most likely be labeled emotional and moody. It's capable of prolonged periods of warmth and tranquility, but a fit of weather rage is just as likely. A storm moving from the Rockies today to the mid-Atlantic region on Sunday will be fairly representative of a multifaceted spring storm, producing weather ranging from accumulating snow to dangerous thunderstorms to flooding. New snow accumulations will locally exceed a foot in the mountains of Utah and Colorado today, where, combined with winds in excess of 25 mph, travel will be ...
Spring on Hold as Nearly a Foot of Snow Expected in Northeast
By not in system - AOL NewsALBANY, N.Y. -- Winter isn't done with some areas of the Northeast just yet. A springtime storm could bring nearly a foot of snow to areas of northern Pennsylvania and upstate New York. The National Weather Service says some communities in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains can expect more than 11 inches by the time the storm moves out. Schools in parts of northwest New Jersey have closed or delayed opening Wednesday because of the weather. Up to 6 inches of snow has already fallen in parts of western New York and up to a foot more could fall upstate over the next day. Snow fell on the New ...
Welcome to Spring: Several Snowstorms Expected This Week
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsSpring may have officially arrived Sunday, but you'd never know it from this week's weather maps. Significant snow will fall across much of the northern tier of the country, as well as in the Western mountains. One storm might even reach blizzard strength in the northern Plains on Tuesday and Wednesday. Winter storm warnings are in effect for northern New England today, and winter storm watches are in effect across the northern Plains and upper Midwest for an intense storm from Tuesday through Wednesday. Meanwhile, following on the heels of a potent weekend storm, new storms will take aim at ...
Will Wild Winter Give Way to a Stormy Spring?
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsCelebrated weather prognosticator Punxsutawney Phil seems to have been reasonably accurate in his prediction of an early spring back on Feb. 2, at a time when most of the country was in the grip of a seemingly unending winter. But the stretch of more moderate weather this past month or so, especially in the eastern half of the country, doesn't mean that the weather has calmed down, with snow and cold in the West and flooding and thunderstorms from the Plains to the East. And it's unlikely that the transition to spring, beginning at 7:21 p.m. EDT on Sunday, will be smooth. Increased Tornado ...
