STORM TO BRING HIGH WINDS TO ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO, NEVADA

On Thursday, the threat shifts to the eastern U.S. Heavy snow and ice are likely from the upper Midwest to New England's interior. Widespread snowfall of 2 to 4 inches are likely, with higher elevations receiving closer to 8 to 12 inches of snow. Freezing rain will make for hazardous driving conditions and likely bring down branches and power lines. This system will bring thunderstorms to the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Meanwhile, across the Southeast, near record-breaking highs will be possible. Daytime highs across Florida will climb into the middle 80s.
