A winter storm is forecasted to sweep across a 1,400-mile-long swath of the southern US starting Thursday, burying some states in up to a foot of snow.
The enormous path of the storm, dubbed Cora, spans 18 states from New Mexico to Virginia where the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued winter storm watches, warnings, and/or winter weather advisories.
One to six inches of snow could accumulate from central Texas through much of Tennessee and the southern Appalachians over then next two days.
‘Should six inches of snow fall in Dallas, it would be in the top-five snowfalls on record,’ AccuWeather Senior Director of Forecasting Operations Dan DePodwin said
