Millions of Americans Brace for Winter Storms and Freezing Temperatures

A winter storm is affecting 14 million Americans with winter weather alerts, bringing below-normal temperatures and snow from New Mexico to the Upper Midwest. The cold front coincides with a surge in post-Thanksgiving air travel, posing a significant challenge for U.S. carriers. While the storm contrasts with the record-high temperatures experienced in recent months, it is expected to bring traditional November weather elements such as lake effect snow and rain along the Mid-Atlantic coast. The system is forecasted to move over the Northeast by Tuesday, with temperatures warm enough to keep the precipitation as rain.
