North Carolina Gov. Roy Moore has declared a state of emergency after a winter storm covered the Midwest in snow over the weekend.
The winter storm dumped 10 to 20 inches of snow on parts of Missouri, Iowa and Illinois from Friday into Saturday and moved toward the East Coast on Sunday, bringing bring heavy snow and ice from North Carolina to Maryland.
By Sunday afternoon, snowfall totals in the Mid-Atlantic region were about 6 feet in Washington, D.C., about 5 feet in Hammonton, New Jersey, and 5.6 inches in Baltimore, according to the National Weather Service.
The Maryland State Police received about 775 calls for service statewide between 7 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday, and 197 crashes were reported during that time, the department wrote on Twitter, urging motorists to take extreme precautions.
There was also freezing rain overnight in the mountains of western North Carolina, which produced a significant amount of ice — up to half an inch in some areas.
The emergency declaration in North Carolina is intended to expedite power restoration in the state after the storm knocked out power to about 98,000 customers, according to a press release from Roy’s office.
The storm has since moved off the East Coast and is heading out to sea.
Roy warned that, although the storm is over, the hazardous conditions are still lingering and black ice will be a concern during the Monday morning commute, especially on Interstate 85.
“Though the worst of the storm is over, conditions are still hazardous in areas that saw snow and ice,” Cooper said. “If you are without power, please be careful if you are using alternative heat sources.”
With at least 10.9 inches of snow in St. Louis through early Sunday, this is the biggest snowstorm the city has seen in five years. Montgomery City, Missouri, had already seen 20 inches of snow, while Dulles International Airport was just seeing the beginning of the snow by 5 a.m. with 3.8 inches.
There are two parts of the storm system affecting the Midwest and East Coast on Sunday morning. A coastal low is beginning to take shape off the Carolina coast line and will strengthen as it begins to head out to sea.
Heavy snow bands are currently hitting parts of the Washington, D.C., metro area, as well as down through parts of Roanoke and Charlottesville, Virginia. Snowfall rates in these areas could range from 1 to 2 inches per hour through the morning.
Additionally, there is mixed precipitation in western North Carolina on Sunday morning. Ice could rapidly accumulate in the morning hours in that region, especially from Winston-Salem, North Carolina and west.
There are still winter weather alerts from Missouri to southern New Jersey Sunday morning. The winter weather alerts will begin to expire from west to east as the day goes on.
People across the Midwest and the East Coast lost power, with more than 214,747 people without power Sunday morning in North Carolina, Missouri, Kansas and Virginia. North Carolina was particularly hard hit, with 108,998 people without power, likely due to a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow that fell overnight. Ice is expected in parts of the state.
A Delta flight from Las Vegas to Cincinnati landed at the Cincinnati/Norther Kentucky International Airport, then slid off the pavement at around 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning. No injuries were reported, and the airport remains open and operational.
Much of the snow should be consolidated to the Mid-Atlantic, especially Virginia and Maryland. Some light snow is also expected to reach parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with the best chances for notable accumulation of snow in the southern parts of those states.
The High Resolution Rapid Refresh model shows heavy snow bands lasting through much of the day in Washington, D.C., and northern Virginia, where some of the highest snowfall totals will come.
There is the possibility for over 6 inches of snow in northern Virginia and parts of Washington, with some areas likely to approach 1 foot of snow. Additionally, over half an inch of ice is possible in parts of North Carolina and southern Virginia.
As the storm pulls out to sea it will usher in another blast of cold air with wind chills in the teens and single digits for much of the Northeast on Monday morning.
On the West Coast, a storm caused some relatively minor mud and debris flows in Southern California on Saturday. However, several more Pacific storms are on the way this week and the concern for flash flooding, mudslides and debris flows will increase in the coming days.
Another storm will arrive in Southern California on Monday, and another one will sneak in right behind by Tuesday.
Several rounds of rain will likely dump 4 to 6 inches of rain on parts of Southern California this week.
Heavy mountain snow is also expected for the entire Sierra Nevada range, and parts of the mountains outside Los Angeles. A winter storm watch has been posted for the Southern California mountains with locally over 1 foot of snow and 60 mph wind gusts possible.
