Two storm systems moving out of the West will combine into a Winter Storm in the middle of the country and could bring the biggest snowstorm of the season to parts of Midwest.
Already on Sunday, the northern storm brought damaging winds up to 50 mph in Seattle where trees were reported down on homes, critically injuring a person.
In Colorado, the southern storm brought heavy snow of up to 10 inches that caused accidents on the roads on Sunday.
As these storms move east, 13 states from Washington to Illinois are on alert for heavy snow and flooding.
This morning, the southern storm is already in the Plains and bringing rain ahead of it for most of the South and Mid-Mississippi River. Flooding is also possible in the Plains today as this heavy rain moves through.
To the north, heavy snow is falling in the northern Rockies from Idaho to northern Colorado.
By Tuesday morning, the storms should begin to combine in the Midwest and spread heavy rain all the way to the East Coast.
