World weather

A rash of thunderstorms and tornadoes. The threat of snow and ice. Even unusually warm temperatures in some places. Much of the United States was bracing for a weekend of extreme or unusual weather on Friday, as a vast storm threatened to unleash everything from treacherous thunderstorms in the Southeast to icy danger in the Midwest. With forecasters predicting that the most severe weather would ramp up with thunderstorms and tornadoes on Friday afternoon and evening, about 40 million people from Texas to Tennessee were believed to be at risk. “This is a widespread, very intense storm system with virtually all of the weather hazards,” said Bill Bunting, the chief of forecast operations for the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.  pic credit -Bbc news.
