Accompanying the air more typical of April will be a swath of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms from the cen- tral Appalachians to the Gulf Coast can be locally heavy and gusty. Cooler air will push eastward across the Great Lakes region as snow leaves the Upper Midwest. Snow showers can coat a few roads over the central Plains. Cold air will increase its grip over much of the West. Spotty snow will affect the Four Corners region with heavier snow in the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin.

A tornado touched down in northwest Mississippi, damaging or destroying at least 20 homes. A tree blew over onto a house in Ar- kansas, killing an 18-year- old woman and trapping a 1-year-old child inside, au- thorities said. Rescuers pulled the toddler safely from the home. Spring-like storms pack- ing strong winds toppled tractor-trailers and knocked down trees, leaving thou- sands of people without power in Indiana and Ar- kansas. In Mississippi, Clarksdale Mayor Bill Luckett said the only confirmed casualty was a dog killed by storm de- bris. Planes at a small air- port overturned and an un- known number of people were injured. "I'm looking at some hor- rific damage right now," the mayor said. "Sheet metal wrapped is around trees, there are overturned air- planes, a building is just de- stroyed." Television images showed the tornado appeared to be on the ground for more than 10 minutes. Interstate 55 was closed in both di- rections as the tornado ap- proached, the Mississippi Highway Patrol said. The biggest threat for tor- nadoes was in a region of 3.7 million people in Missis- sippi, Tennessee and Arkan- sas and parts of Missouri, Il- linois and Kentucky, accord- ing to the national Storm Prediction Center in Okla- homa. The center issued a "particularly dangerous sit- uation" alert for the first time since June 2014, when two massive EF4 twisters devastated a rural Nebraska town, killing two people. The greatest risk for a few "intense, long-tracked tornadoes" will be through Wednesday night. About 120 miles east of the tornado, Brandi Hol- land, a convenience store clerk in Tupelo, Mississippi, said people were reminded of a tornado that damaged or destroyed more than 2,000 homes and businesses in April 2014. "They're opening all our tornado shelters because they say there's an 80 per- cent chance of a tornado to- day," Holland said. Elsewhere, skiers on the slopes out West got a fresh taste of powder and most people in the Northeast en- joyed spring-like temper- atures as they finished up last-minute Christmas shop- ping. "It's too warm for me. I don't like it. I prefer the coldinthewinter,inDecem- ber. Gives you more of that Christmas feel," said Dan- iel Flores, a concierge from the Bronx, his light jacket zipped open as he shopped in Manhattan with his three children. Only about half of the nation, mostly in the West, should expect the possibility of a white Christmas. In the small coastal town of Loxley, Alabama, Mandy Wilson watched the angry gray sky and told drivers to be careful as she worked a cashregisterat Love's Travel Stop. "It's very ugly; it's very scary," Wilson said. "There's an 18-wheeler turned over on I-10. There's water stand- ing really bad. It's a really interesting way to spend Christmas Eve eve." In parts of Georgia, in- cluding Atlanta, a flood watch was posted through Friday evening as more than 4 inches was expected, the National Weather Service said. The threat of severe weather just before Christ- mas is unusual, but not un- precedented, said Greg Car- bin, a meteorologist at the national Storm Prediction Center. Twisters hit southeast Mississippi exactly a year ago, killing five people and injuring dozens of others. On Christmas Day in 2012, a storm system spawned several tornadoes, damag- ing homes from Texas to Alabama. Emergency officials in Tennessee worried that powerful winds could turn holiday yard decorations into projectiles, the same way gusts can fling patio furniture in springtime storms, said Marty Clem- ents, director of the Mad- ison County Emergency Management Agency in Jackson, the state's largest city between Memphis and Nashville.
