Massive Coast-to-Coast Storm Threatens 30+ States, Northeast Braces for Nor'easter

A powerful storm system is expected to impact at least 30 states this week, starting with heavy rain, mountain snow, and thunderstorms in the Northwest. The storm will then move into the Plains and Midwest, bringing widespread rain and the threat of flash flooding. By the weekend, the storm may develop into a nor'easter, potentially bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to the Northeast. The system is expected to bring much-needed precipitation to drought-stricken areas, but also poses a risk of flooding.
