Americans are bracing for a dangerous storm system moving across the central Plains to the Midwest and heading toward the Gulf Coast.

Winter Storm Finn is predicted to bring heavy snow, blizzards, severe storms, and flooding, the Weather Channel reported Monday.

“Tomorrow, severe t-storms and wind will be ongoing in the Southeast in the morning, continuing into at least late afternoon/early evening,” it continued. “High wind, potentially flooding rain moves up the Northeast, especially during the afternoon and into the night.”

People can expect to experience lingering rain in areas of New England early Wednesday and possibly light snow and wind in the Great Lakes area.

“Be weather aware in the Gulf Coastal states! Winter Storm #Finn will bring Snow across the Plains & MW, it will spawn severe weather in the South!” Meteorologist Alex Wallace wrote in a social media post early Monday.

“Impacts: Tornadoes, Damaging Wind Gusts that could be 75 mph+ & heavy rain!!!” he continued:
