The risk of severe weather will continue for the third consecutive day on Friday as storms target areas from the Southeast to the Ohio Valley. The severe weather will be the byproduct of a larger storm system tracking across the country and could produce downpours, destructive wind gusts and isolated tornadoes across portions of 11 states, AccuWeather forecasters say.
The powerful storm responsible for this early-season severe weather outbreak arrived on the shores of the United States earlier this week and brought more drought-relieving rain and heavy snow to lower elevations in California. It will advance into the Midwest and Northeast on Friday and Saturday, bringing heavy, travel-snarling snow to cities such as Chicago and Boston.
