Tornadoes may hit the Mississippi Valley on Friday, as well as blizzards in the northern Plains and gusty conditions in Texas that pose a high risk of wildfires.

High winds are whipping up wildfires in Texas on Friday as a roiling low pressure system moves east and threatens to land powerful tornadoes in the Plains and beyond.
