Millions of Americans should prepare for disrupted travel and winter conditions as a massive storm is set to bring ice, snow and freezing rain to much of the country, forecasters said Saturday.
The storm will first impact the Central Plains later Saturday and spread into the Ohio Valley on Sunday before reaching the Mid-Atlantic late Sunday and into Monday.
Northeastern Kansas into north-central Missouri could see over 15 inches. “For some, this could be the heaviest snowfall in over a decade,” the National Weather Service said.
Blizzard and whiteout conditions are expected in the central Plains, making driving conditions either dangerous or impossible without the risk of becoming stranded.
“Brutally cold temperatures will extend through the upcoming week,” the weather service in St. Louis, Missouri, said.
Power outages could make the situation more dangerous as it dips into single digits overnight in the region, the weather service there said.
