“A busy weather pattern is expected to continue through midweek with impacts throughout many different regions of the country,” the NWS said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winter storm warnings are in effect for all of Connecticut and Rhode Island. New York City and Boston are under winter weather advisories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage emerged showing overturned cars and homes with collapsed roofs due to the strong winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A wind speed of 114mph (183km\/h) was recorded in northern Texas near the border with Oklahoma – the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NWS and experts have said that the weather pattern probably qualifies as a “derecho”, a rare weather pattern characterised by extremely strong straight-line winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parts of Michigan, where more than 152,000 people remained without power after a winter storm last week, are also expected to be hit again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/emp.bbc.com\/emp\/SMPj\/2.47.3\/iframe.htmlMedia caption,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oklahoma storm destroys homes, leaves a dozen injured<\/p>\n\n\n\n Californians have already faced mass power outages, flooding and the closures of both motorways and beaches as a winter storm swept that US state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than 120,000 people – many of them in the Los Angeles area – lost electricity after days of fierce winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As of Monday evening, around 52,500 homes in California remained without power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yosemite National Park will remain closed until Wednesday because of severe winter conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Residents of the state capital of Sacramento have been warned to avoid travel until Wednesday with rain and snow starting up again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BBC News: A new coast-to-coast winter storm is forecast to pummel parts of California, the Midwest and US north-east this week.
