Storm to Lash Central US With Flooding, Snow and Severe Weather

One of the storms from the western United States will produce a swath of drenching rain, heavy snow and severe weather over the Plains, Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes during Saturday and Sunday.

While the central United States will remain in the midst of tranquil weather into the second week of December, a major storm will take shape during the second weekend of the month.

According to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, this will be a dynamic storm as it swings from the West into the Central states.

"In addition to bringing locally heavy precipitation, the storm will bring a good deal of wind, which will be quite a switch from the tranquil, stagnant and foggy conditions over the past week or so," Abrams said.

While the exact details on which areas will be hit the hardest with rain versus severe thunderstorms and snow will unfold in the coming days, the storm will bring general travel disruptions to the Central states this weekend.

Following the storm impacts in the Central states, big temperature swings are in store for the region.
