The central and eastern United States will experience widespread rain, snow, and cooling

It is expected that from March 4th to 8th, under the influence of a cold wave, a wide range of rain and snow, accompanied by strong winds and cooling, will affect the southeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Heavy to severe snowfall is expected in the northern central United States and southeastern Canada, with locally extreme heavy snowfall. The eastern United States will experience moderate to heavy rain, with locally heavy rainstorms. This will be accompanied by severe convective weather such as hail and tornadoes. The temperature in most of these areas will drop by 8 to 12℃, with some areas exceeding 14℃, accompanied by strong winds, with gusts reaching above level 8. Local authorities should take precautions against the adverse effects brought by this cold wave process.
