Millions of Americans across 35 states will be impacted by a powerful winter storm that is traversing the country this week. All kinds of winter weather alerts are up from the West Coast to the northern Plains to the Great Lakes to northern New England. The Twin Cities area in Minnesota is one of the places in the crosshairs of this storm, with upwards of 1 to 2 feet of snow possible this week.
Ice will also become problematic this week as a narrow band of freezing rain and a wintry mix develops from the Midwest through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast. Southern Michigan appears to be one of the places where the greatest impacts from the ice could be felt.
Winter is holding on tight across the northern U.S., but summer is sneaking in across the South and East Coast this week. Temperatures in the mid-80s will be commonplace from Texas to the Carolinas. In Florida, temperatures in the 90s are expected. In some cases, record highs that have stood for years will be threatened. In a few places, these might be the warmest temperatures on record in February.
