Severe Weather Threats: Blizzards, Tornadoes, Heat, Floods

Severe weather threats loom large across America this week, with blizzards in the north, tornado risks in the east, record heat in the west, and heavy flooding in Hawaii. The Northern Plains and Upper Great Lakes are bracing for blizzard conditions, with over a foot of snow already fallen in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and more expected around Minneapolis. Travel is at a standstill, with hundreds of flights canceled and no-travel advisories in place. Meanwhile, the same system is fueling severe storms moving east, bringing tornado risks, damaging winds, hail, and flash floods to the Midwest through the Mid-Atlantic. In the West, an early heat wave is building, raising wildfire dangers amid strong winds. Hawaii is grappling with landslides, sinkholes, and power outages from relentless rains on Maui and nearby islands.
