A series of winter storms are set to hit large parts of the continental United States, bringing heavy snow, freezing rain, and temperatures as much as 35 degrees below seasonal averages. Some 32 million people are under winter weather alerts, with heavy snow expected in northern Kentucky, West Virginia, the Washington metro area, Maryland, and parts of the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic. Tuesday’s storm is forecast to bring between 4 and 8 inches of snow, with up to 10 inches possible in parts of Kansas. Freezing rain could lead to ice accumulation in the Appalachians, potentially causing power outages. An Arctic blast of cold air is expected across several regions, including the Northern Rockies and Upper Great Lakes, with temperatures plunging well below average. North Dakota could see temperatures as low as -55 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chill. Multiple storms are predicted to hit the Northeast, Midwest, and East Coast in the coming days. In Utah, there are warnings of avalanches following four fatalities this year. The West Coast is also bracing for a storm system arriving in California, bringing rain and snow to higher elevations. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is scheduled to address the storm in a news conference.
