(NewsNation) — Dozens of people have died in weather-related incidents over the past month, several outlets are reporting, as much of the United States continues to face arctic temperatures.
A CBS News tally says there have been 95 confirmed weather-related fatalities connected to the winter weather in the past week, while the Associated Press says 72 lives have been claimed this month, with many involving hypothermia or road accidents.
In Tennessee, the Department of Health said Sunday there have been 27 confirmed weather-related fatalities in multiple counties. Over the weekend, crews in Memphis worked to find and fix broken pipes causing low water pressure. Rhodes College started sending students home Saturday, and moving those who could not return to hotels. Classes will be virtual on Monday and Tuesday.
Mississippi’s Emergency Management Agency said Sunday that 11 people have died of causes related to frigid weather since Jan. 14.
CBS writes that more deaths were reported in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, Kentucky, Wisconsin, New York and New Jersey, as well as other states, though some are still being investigated to see if they were related to the weather.
More stormy weather is expected this week, though warmer temperatures are also being predicted in the coming days.
The National Weather Service anticipates freezing rain across the Central Plains Monday morning, which will then “rapidly spread northeastward” into the Midwest. Another round of freezing rain from the Midwest to the lower Great Lakes is expected Monday night.
Southern Texas and California, meanwhile, are seeing a lot of rain. Los Angeles County’s Office of Emergency Management issued an evacuation warning near Topanga Canyon effective through Tuesday morning due to possible mud or debris flows.
