The massive storm system that crosses the United States threatens to unleash hurricanes on Friday in the Mississippi Valley, snowstorms in the northern plains, dry and vital conditions in Texas and Oklahoma are a severe danger to forest fires.

National weather service expected harsh weather through a wide range of the United States, with a population of more than 100 million people. The strong winds of up to 80 miles per hour from the Canadian line are expected to the borders of Rio Grande with Mexico.

The predictors say that the threat of the storm will continue on the weekend, with a moderate chance for the destroyed hurricanes and winds that are pushing further than South Saturday to areas including New Orleans and Birmingham, Alabama. Heavy rains can bring flash floods to some parts of the East Coast on Sunday.

Experts say it is not unusual to see such normal conditions in March, when the emerging spring and cold warmth in winter creates significant differences in temperatures to flourish storms.

“If there is a time of the year, as such a storm can provide these monuments from the coast to the coast, then we are in that,” said Benjamin Rebert, the meteorologist at Pennsylvania State University.

It is possible that the outbreak of severe storms is expected to spread in the spread of severe storms on Friday afternoon, with some risks that extend from thunderstorms from the Great Lakes to the Gulf coast.

The predictors said that hurricanes, destroyed winds, and mail to the size of the baseball were probably, with the largest danger in the eastern state of Missouri, and a lot of Illinois and parts of the state of Iowa, Kentuki, Tennessee and Arkansas. The weather service center said that 17 million people had a severe threat from the severe storm of De Mine, Iowa, to Jackson, Mississippi.

The threat of the hurricane is pushing beyond the south on Saturday to the states of the Gulf Coast, including New Orleans, other parts of East Louisiana and many Mississippi and Alabama.

The expected snowstorms in Northernern Plainsforecaster warned that the thick snow that the strong winds are likely to make travel to leave in parts of Rockies and Northern Plains. Strong snowy conditions were in Dakotas and Minnesota.

The warnings of the winter storm issued on Friday in mountainous areas in Arizona and Utah continued, where more than (30 cm) feet were possible from snowfall. The predictors have warned of poor vision and icy road conditions, and urged car drivers to travel with additional food and water if they were cut off.

The winter explosion lasted after 3 -feet snow (90 centimeters) in Sierra Nevada earlier in the week.

Dry and stormy conditions bring a “extreme” threat of membranous forests, dry weather and continuous winds of 45 miles per hour (72 km), which is called the weather service “near historical conditions” to stimulate forest fires on Friday to the southern plains and parts of the southwest. Wind storms exceeding 80 miles per hour (128 km per hour) were possible.

The predictors shared some advice during a special briefing: for those who adhered to the roads, keep a strong grip on the wheel, watching fallen trees, power lines and other debris. They said that strong winds will kick a lot of dust and that brown conditions were possible.

“This is likely to be the worst dirt storm so far this year,” said Randal Herger, a major expected weather service in Boukirk.

The predictors also warned of the danger of fire borders in parts of North Texas, a lot of Oklahoma and southeast Kansas. A wider area where a fire threat was appointed to stretch from East New Mexico to Texas and the north to a part of the south of Iowa.

The weather service said that the possibility of dry thunderstorms in parts of Kansas, Akllahoma, Missouri and Arkansas carry an additional danger of fires that lightning begins with minimal rain to prevent them from spreading.
