(NEW YORK) — A deadly storm wreaked havoc across the eastern half of the U.S., bringing blizzard conditions to the Midwest, tornadoes to the South and torrential rain to the Northeast — and a new storm is on the move.<\/p>\n

In the South, they are cleaning up after the wild weather produced up to 428 damaging storm reports from Texas to Maryland, including at least 14 reported tornadoes.<\/p>\n

Three fatalities were reported in Mississippi, according to state officials.<\/p>\n

In the Midwest, dangerous whiteout conditions took over roads in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.<\/p>\n

The highest snowfall total was in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where 2 feet was recorded.<\/p>\n

The Twin Cities reported 9.5 inches of snow, marking the biggest snowfall of the season.<\/p>\n

In the Northeast, a squall line moved through Wednesday evening, bringing 1 to 2 inches of heavy rain and 50 to 60 mph winds.<\/p>\n

The storm now has moved out, but windy conditions are impacting millions across the Northeast, including in Washington, D.C., New York City and Boston.<\/p>\n

The winds will increase Thursday night and last through Friday. Gusts of 40 to 50 mph are possible.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a new storm is hitting the West on Thursday before moving east to the Plains, Midwest and then the Northeast.<\/p>\n

One to 3 feet of snow is possible in the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Rocky Mountains.<\/p>\n

Rain will continue Thursday for Southern California, including Los Angeles, where thunderstorms are possible. There’s not a major threat for flash flooding, but there could be debris flow in wildfire burn scar areas.<\/p>\n

On Thursday evening, the storm system will move into the Plains. Over 6 inches of snow is possible in parts of Nebraska and South Dakota.<\/p>\n

By Friday morning, some of this snow will move into the Midwest, including Chicago, and parts of the southern Great Lakes.<\/p>\n

On Friday night, light rain showers and snow showers are possible in parts of the Northeast.<\/p>\n
