Winter storm warnings extended from Kentucky to southern New Jersey, and a flood watch was posted for a wide swath of Kentucky, Tennessee, southwest Virginia and northern Georgia. The snow-and-ice mix was expected to become all rain as temperatures climb by Wednesday afternoon.

The National Weather Service forecasts predict snow, freezing rain, ice, and excessive rainfall that may cause flooding, power outages, and hazardous travel.

With a powerful winter storm set to bring up to 6 inches of snow, ice, and flooding across Virginia, Gov. Glenn Youngkin has declared a state of emergency, mobilizing resources to prepare for hazardous conditions expected to hit overnight Monday into Tuesday.
