Chances of ‘significant severe weather threat’ next week grow from Texas to Mississippi

The chances of a "significant severe weather threat" in the South next week are continuing to grow just as the U.S. and other nations in the Northern Hemisphere usher in the start of meteorological spring.

The FOX Forecast Center is continuing to monitor two separate disturbances that are expected to move across the country, which could produce rounds of severe weather on Sunday, and then again Tuesday and Wednesday.

The threat on Tuesday appears at this time to be more significant. Forecasters say that while specifics remain uncertain, multiple rounds of severe weather, including the development of supercell thunderstorms and an eventual squall line, could bring all severe weather threats, including strong tornadoes.

Millions in Northeast face return of winter weather

Much of the U.S. has been enjoying a brief springlike warmup, but for millions of people in the Northeast and New England, a brutal reality check looms for the weekend when temperatures will plummet back into the 30s as the calendar flips to March.

The FOX Forecast Center said the spring warmth will begin to fade as the wild temperature rollercoaster continues into the weekend before an almost 30-degree temperature drop.

Many cities along the East Coast, like New York City and Washington, will be near or above 60 degrees on Saturday but will fall back into the 30s as we close out the weekend.

This graphic shows the forecast high temperatures on Saturday and the forecast low temperatures on Sunday morning.

In the video, you can first hear the scary sound of the snow cascading down the mountain once he is buried. But after a few moments, you can hear something even more terrifying.
