A winter storm system was expected to sweep the country this week, after a separate system brought powerful winds and some snow to the Northeast on Monday.
A sprawling storm was bringing powerful winds, snow and freezing conditions from the Midwest to the Northeast on Monday, causing power outages and disrupting travel as conditions were expected to worsen through the week.
As one storm was moving away from New England — and was expected to continue producing strong, gusty winds across the Northeast and Great Lakes over the next couple of days — the next winter storm was hitting the Central Plains and Midwest on Monday. It was likely then moving to the Mid-Atlantic by Wednesday and the Northeast by Thursday.
Millions were under extreme cold warnings, from the Upper Midwest and Plains down to Oklahoma and parts of Texas. High temperatures were expected to remain below freezing for many areas between central Texas and the southern Mid-Atlantic, the National Weather Service said.
The lowest wind chills over the next few days are forecast from northeast Montana to North Dakota, where the Weather Service predicted it would feel as cold as 60 degrees below zero.
“This level of cold is life threatening and could shortly lead to frostbite and hypothermia,” the Weather Service said.
By midweek, lows across much of the Northeast, Midwest, and parts of the southern Plains, including Oklahoma and northwest Texas, were expected to dip into the single digits.
