Winter storm in Dakotas, Minnesota; flooding possible across Eastern US
A storm that began with snow, strong winds and bitter cold into the eastern Dakotas and western Minnesota early Wednesday and began moving east was making travel treacherous and grounded flights on one of the most anticipated air travel days since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Blizzard warnings were posted in the region as National Weather Service officials called for wind chills to dip to 35 F (2 C) below zero, pushed by gusts of more than 60 mph (96.5 kph). Numerous travel advisories urged motorists to stay off the road and several highways were shut down altogether.
Heavy rain and flash flooding are possible today all across the eastern U.S., and areas hit by last weekend’s winter storm are at a higher risk due to snow melt.
