Record snowless streaks in Baltimore, New York City and Philadelphia ended earlier this week. Now, more snow is falling in some of the same regions along the Interstate 95 corridor from the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast. Winter weather alerts have been issued in the region, and upwards of 5 inches of snow is possible in some areas.
Wind chill alerts stretch from Montana to Alabama as another blast of arctic air pushes deeper into the U.S. More than 230 million people will see below-average temperatures on Friday. That number grows to more than 270 million Saturday as the bone-chilling cold reaches as far south as Florida.
The first in several rounds of atmospheric river storms aimed at the West Coast arrives Friday evening. Forecasters are watching for the potential of flooding along the coast from Oregon to California, including the San Francisco area, through at least Monday.
A haunting scene emerged out of Michigan this week as the arctic blast left a lighthouse encased in ice.
Here are a few other stories making headlines.
