Millions of people across the Midwest, Northeast and the Deep South are bracing for a week of dangerous weather—including winter storms that could bring two feet of spring snow, dangerous thunderstorms and potentially deadly tornadoes in multiple regions

Northeastern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula were placed under a winter storm watch through Wednesday, and the region is expected to see “wet and heavy snow” and wind gusts as strong as 45 miles per hour that could cause damage to tree limbs and power lines, the National Weather Service station in Green Bay said.

Marquette and other regions along the shore of Lake Superior could see as much as two feet of snow from Tuesday night through Wednesday night, while the rest of the region will likely see 8-12 inches, the NWS said.

Winter storms will also develop in the northeast on Wednesday afternoon and continue through Friday, the NWS in Albany said, with the potential for up to seven inches of snow and sleet and wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour—making travel “difficult to impossible” in upstate New York, western Massachusetts and most of northern New England.

Another storm will move through the Ohio, Tennessee and Mississippi river valleys bringing a high chance of severe thunderstorms, winds up to 60 miles per hour, hail up to two inches in diameter and potential tornados.

A tornado watch was declared in central Kentucky, including the state capitol of Lexington and the city of Bardstown, about 40 miles south of Louisville, on Tuesday morning, and the NWS advised residents to remain on alert and seek shelter in a basement or small central room if a tornado is spotted.

Florida and other parts of the southeast could also see severe thunderstorms on Tuesday night and Wednesday, the NWS in Jacksonville reported, which could bring severe wind, hail and “isolated” tornadoes.

This year's dangerous weather pattern in April is not unprecedented. In 2020, a storm system struck the southeast, spawning a total of 24 tornadoes across the state of Mississippi in April, including an EF-4 tornado that grew to about 2.25 miles wide in diameter. The storm system was one of the deadliest in state history, killing 12 people and injuring over 100 more, according to the NWS.
