Winter storm to blast millions in US with heavy snow, severe weather, flooding

The nation’s next major storm system is set to sweep across the U.S. this week and bring the potential for a wide range of threats, including heavy snow, flash flooding and severe weather.

The slow-moving storm is expected to bring snow to Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado and could significantly impact travel across the region. Meanwhile, the threats of heavy rain, severe thunderstorms and flooding will ramp up in the South starting Wednesday.

Rain and snow will then track toward the Northeast heading into the weekend.

Clipper system brings dangerous snow squalls to Northeast ahead of Tuesday morning commute

A dangerous line of snow squalls broke out across the interior Northeast overnight and is continuing to track south and eastward as millions head out for the Tuesday morning commute.

The snow squalls, part of a fast-moving clipper system moving through the region, are producing whiteout conditions. Snow Squall Warnings cover about 1.6 million people from Pennsylvania to Maine as of early Tuesday morning.

Forecasters across the Northeast and New England are warning drivers that travel will become dangerous as the snow squalls continue to advance.

Watch: Cold-stunned iguana tumbles from Miami tree during arctic blast

It’s not every day iguanas fall from trees in Florida, but it happened last week.

Home security video from Miami Beach showed a large, seemingly cold-stunned iguana hitting the concrete with a loud thwack after falling from its perch in a tree.

Temperatures across South Florida mid- to late-week dropped into the 30s and 40s, according to the National Weather Service office in Miami. Iguanas tend to become cold-stunned when temperatures fall below 50 degrees for an extended period of time.
