A storm system will continue to blast areas from Texas to New York with widespread snow and flooding rain through the night and into Thursday morning.
Flooding has been reported as homes were evacuated and roadways were closed in Kentucky, West Virginia and into Pennsylvania.
"A wide-reaching winter storm will stretch from Texas to New York Wednesday night and unleash heavy snow, ice and flooding rain along its path," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Andy Mussoline said.
Rain will change to snow in the Interstate 95 corridor from New York City to Washington D.C., setting up a slippery and slow morning rush on Thursday.
