"Eastern US Braces for Double Winter Storm Threat with Snow, Rain, and Tornadoes"

Two storm systems are set to impact the eastern half of the US, with the first bringing rain, freezing rain, and snow to the Midwest and Northeast on Friday, while the second system will bring more rain and storms to the South on Saturday, potentially causing flash flooding and severe weather. The rainfall will add to already wet conditions in many cities, with snowfall expected in the interior Northeast. The unusually warm winter temperatures have contributed to the wet weather pattern, with above-average temperatures expected to continue into February.
