A new broad snowstorm advancing from Eastern Oklahoma toward the Hatteras region was tracked by weather forecasters. By late morning it stretched from Eastern Kansas to central Kentucky and northern Tennessee, with six inches reported in St. Louis area and up to four inches in parts of Illinois and Indiana. The system, linked to earlier heavy damage and fatalities, moved into Northern Quebec as winds eased and temperatures plunged, then began rising again in the day’s warmth in some regions while others faced continued chill. A flood risk in Mandan, North Dakota decreased after an ice jam broke on the Heart River, lowering waters downstream.
