Severe winter weather set to affect millions across the US will bring freezing temperatures and could impact travel plans this holiday season.
Almost 33 million people are under winter storm watches as an Arctic blast and major storm system descend on several parts of the country, Axios reports. An estimated 27 million Americans are also under windchill alerts.
Starting Tuesday, states in the Great Plains including Montana and North Dakota were experiencing below-freezing temperatures and snow, CNN reported. High temperatures for the day in Minnesota are also below-freezing, with the National Weather Service alerting that a blizzard is “highly likely” in parts of the state.
“By Thursday, wind gusts of 40-50mph appear likely. With the fluffy snow in place, blizzard conditions are highly likely area wide, even in areas that typically aren’t favored for whiteout conditions,” said the National Weather Service.
