At least 14 people died in Kentucky from a devastating storm that battered the state this weekend.

       "This isn’t just a number -- these are Kentuckians who will be missed by their families and loved ones," Gov. Andy Beshear said on social media. "Please pray for our commonwealth and our neighbors who have lost people they love."

       Over 1,000 people have been rescued across the state, the governor said. In Louisville, crews have conducted over 30 rescues in the flash flooding, Mayor Craig Greenberg said.

       One storm-related death was also reported in Georgia.

       The storm dumped over 8 inches of rain in Kentucky and Tennessee, and 5 inches of rain in Virginia.

       The next cross-country storm is already underway, with snowy weather scattered across the Cascades, Rockies and into the Plains. The system is forecast to sweep south and east through into Wednesday.

       Heavy snow is expected to fall throughout Kansas, southern Missouri and northern Oklahoma on Tuesday morning. By the evening, heavy snowfall is forecast to have spread to northern Arkansas and southern Missouri.

       Travel is expected to be significantly affected in those areas -- including on interstates -- with 6 to 12 inches of snow forecast.

       By Wednesday morning, the storm will bring snowfall to Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Nashville, Tennessee, could see between 3 and 6 inches of snow.

       Virginia is also expected to see snow on Wednesday, with Norfolk and Richmond experiencing as much as 6 inches of snowfall. Washington, D.C. is set to escape the most extreme weather, but may also see a couple of inches of snowfall.

       The snow flurries will be followed by plunging temperatures, with more than 65 million Americans now under cold weather alerts across 13 states from Texas to Minnesota.

       Numerous daily record low temperatures are possible in this region this week.

       Wind chills in North Dakota could reach 60 below zero, at which frostbite can occur on exposed skin in minutes.

       Minneapolis could feel temperatures as low as 42 below zero Monday and Tuesday, with Kansas City feeling like 30 below zero on Thursday morning.

       Tulsa could feel like 17 below zero Wednesday and Thursday, with Dallas feeling like 10 below zero.
