Winter storm impacting tens of millions

Winter storm warnings are posted from the Great Plains to the Mid-Atlantic, including the blizzard conditions expected in parts of Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. This storm will disrupt ground and air travel for people.

Otherwise, Southeast Michigan will be cloudy with a chance of lake-effect snow showers off of Lake Huron. Monday’s highs will be in the mid to upper 20s.
