A severe winter storm that lashed the West over the weekend on Monday night barreled toward the central U.S., where it's expected to intensify en route to the Northeast later this week. | The big picture: Over 15 million people were under winter weather advisories, with the Upper Midwest and northern and central Plains at risk from the worst hazards of the storm, which saw roads closed and feet of snow dumped on the Sierra Nevada as heavy rains lashed Southern California over the weekend. The storm on Monday night reached the Southern and Central Plains, where the National Weather Service warned flash flooding and other severe weather was possible due to "intense downpours." It's expected to impact the region for several days. By the time this storm system moves off the east coast at the end of this week, it will have dumped a foot or more of snow across at least a half-dozen states, spawned tornadoes in the South, and acted as a kickoff event to rearranging the jet stream to ensure a colder, snowier finish to December. This will be especially true for the Midwest and East. Dozens of flights were canceled across the U.S. Monday as up to 6 inches of snow fell in Hartford, Connecticut, and also Scranton, Pennsylvania, while upstate New York and western Massachusetts saw up to 9 inches, ABC News reports.
