Coast-to-Coast Storm to Bring Hazardous Conditions Across the US
A powerful storm system is expected to track coast-to-coast, bringing a wide range of impacts, including snow, ice, and rain, to various regions across the US. The storm, which starts on Sunday in the Rockies, will move through the Plains and into the Northeast by Wednesday, posing threats to airports, roadways, and communities along its path.
