"Powerful Cross-Country Storm Threatens U.S. with Snow, Severe Weather, and Tornadoes"

A cross-country storm system is set to bring severe weather to the Midwest with potential for huge hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes before moving into the Northeast, affecting major cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and Boston with heavy rain, gusty winds, and thunderstorms. Snow and wind alerts are in effect from coast to coast as the storm has already dumped several feet of snow in the Northwest, leading to the closure of Interstate 90 in Washington state.
