Back-to-back storms expected to bring severe weather, heavy snow across US this week
The FOX Forecast Center is tracking double trouble this week as an active pattern is set to drag two separate storms across the U.S. The first storm will be the weaker of the two, an appetizer storm, if you will. It will still bring showers to southern California, and snow/rain to the Four Corners and central states. The second storm will be much more significant. On the warm side, a multi-day severe weather event is likely. On the cold side, significant winter storm will blast the Rockies, Plains and Upper Midwest.

Double trouble: Two potent storms to trek across U.S. this week
The FOX Forecast Center is keeping an eye on two storm systems that are set to bring severe weather, heavy snow and flooding rain to various parts of the country this week.
The storms will be moving ashore in two different locations in the West – the first moved into California on Sunday, and the second will follow on its heels a few days later in the Pacific Northwest.
But even though these two storms are originating in different regions, the back-to-back nature will significantly impact the U.S. because of the double hit.
The back-to-back storms this week will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail, tornadoes and heavy rainfall. As much as 3 inches of rain could soak parts of the South from the combination of the two storm systems this week.
Two potent storm systems will make their way across the U.S. this week.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale … about the remains of a historic shipwreck discovered by a woman walking her dog on a Nantucket, Massachusetts, beach last week.
