(NEW YORK) — A major cross-country storm is moving east, bringing severe thunderstorms to the South on Mardi Gras Day before heading to the East Coast on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

More than 400,000 customers lost power in Texas on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Damage was reported in Irving, Texas, near Dallas, and winds gusted to 62 mph near Abilene, Texas, as the storm blew through in the morning.<\/p>\n

In Oklahoma, residents woke up to a tornado, wind gusts over 80 mph and flash flooding.<\/p>\n

Now, the storm moves east, with a severe thunderstorm watch in effect for Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma until 11 a.m. local time. A tornado watch extends south through Arkansas, northern Louisiana and eastern Texas though 3 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday afternoon, the severe thunderstorms will reach Jackson, Mississippi, and New Orleans as Mardi Gras celebrations culminate in a final day of festivities on Fat Tuesday. Parades in the area have been canceled or moved earlier due to the weather.<\/p>\n

Tornadoes and damaging winds will be the biggest threat, but flash flooding is also possible.<\/p>\n

The thunderstorms will hit Alabama after 8 p.m. and then Atlanta overnight.<\/p>\n

By Wednesday, the storm system will move to the East Coast, bringing heavy rain and damaging winds from Georgia to New York.<\/p>\n

Tornadoes are possible in the Carolinas and southern Virginia.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a blizzard warning is in effect for six states from Colorado to Minnesota, where a combination of snow and gusty winds could create dangerous whiteout conditions on the roads.<\/p>\n

A winter storm warning was issued for Wisconsin and Michigan, where some areas could see up to 1 to 2 feet of snow from Tuesday through Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
