A powerful storm system continues to track across the Northeast on Monday, with lingering rain and gusty winds expected along the coast as snow piles up throughout the day in parts of northern New England.
Rain changed to snow early Monday morning as far south as Maryland and Virginia, including parts of the Baltimore and Washington metros. A half-inch to an inch of snowfall was recorded in the area near Dulles International Airport, just west of D.C. proper.
The same system moving through the Northeast on Monday spawned deadly tornadoes in Tennessee over the weekend. Two children were among the six people killed as twisters ravaged portions of Tennessee and Kentucky on Saturday. Dozens of homes and businesses were destroyed, leaving thousands without power.
One of the deadly twisters devastated the town of Clarksville in Montgomery County, Tennessee. National Weather Service meteorologists confirmed it was a long-track tornado that was on the ground for 42.91 miles between its starting point in northern Tennessee and ending point in southern Kentucky. The NWS rated the tornado an EF-3, noting it had maximum winds of 150 mph.
Multiple videos from Clarksville, Tennessee, show the long-track EF-3 tornado devastating the town.
Shoppers spotted the twister from a mall parking lot.
