Weekend weather warning for millions of Americans across central US with threat of severe storms and flash floods
A WEEKEND winter warning is in effect for millions of residents across central America with threats of severe storms and flash floods.
The massive icy mix is set to move along the West Coast on Friday, then slide eastward across the Rockies later that night before emerging in the Great Plains region by Saturday.
The storm is expected to pull in cold air from Canada as it barrels through central states dumping snow, ice and heavy rainfall.
In California, the Sierra could receive one to two feet of snow by Saturday morning.
The arctic cold front will send temperatures plummeting while spreading snow over the Rockies, the Plains region and the upper Midwest on Saturday.
The states on a winter advisory include parts of Montana, Wyoming and Colorado.
At least six inches of snow will likely blanket a large portion of the northern and central Rockies through this weekend.
Light snow may dust portions of North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, while sleet, freezing rain, or heavy snowfall could barrel through Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will infiltrate portions of the South, Mississippi and Ohio with heavy rain this weekend extending into early next week.
The heaviest rain is expected to fall Sunday and Monday across an area extending from the Southern Plains to the lower and mid-Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee valleys.
