Through the middle of the week, the northern Plains will receive a dose of snow from a powerful storm that has already dumped several feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada of California. However, snow won't be the storm's only problem, as AccuWeather meteorologists warn that the potent winds from the storm might increase the risk of fast-moving wildfires for regions farther south.
Since Tropical Storm 'Victor' dissipated at the beginning of October, the Atlantic has been rather calm. Now that Wanda has stopped the calmness, AccuWeather experts are keeping an eye on another region for possible development.
Tropical Rainstorm Pamela prompted flash flooding which caused the death of two people in Texas hill country. Rescuers saved a lot of children hanging on trees to escape from the flood. As of Thursday evening, the woman and girl were the first death confirmed from Pamela.
Tropical Storm Warning Pamela will not only represent a serious threat to Mexico, where it is projected to make landfall as a hurricane but its effects will also be felt in areas of the United States as it moves inland.
