Residents in parts of Texas and Oklahoma have been warned to prepare for a “historic blizzard”
As much as 15in (38cm) of snow could fall in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, forecasters predict.
The rare winter blast is expected to bring high winds that could push wind-chill temperatures as low as -10F (-23C) and cause low visibility due to blowing and drifting snow.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning beginning at 6pm local time on Saturday, running through noon on Monday.
Other areas in the two states are under winter storm warnings, while North Texas, central Oklahoma and central Kansas are under a winter storm watch.
The storm comes after widespread rain triggered flash flood watches across several states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
Severe weather stretching across the southeastern United States has been blamed for at least 17 deaths in Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas.
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley declared a state of emergency in several counties due to flooding that has displaced some residents and closed nearly 200 roads across the state.
