DEVELOPING: At least two people have been killed and multiple others injured after an apparent tornado struck a nursing home in Monette, Arkansas, Craighead County judge says.
Strong weather was expected to affect 35 million Americans this weekend, with heavy snow forecast in the Midwest, tornadoes possible in the South, and rain aiming for California.
Light snow and strong winds were expected overnight in Chicago, they said. Rain and high winds were forecasted for Detroit, where the National Weather Service warned residents to prepare for possible power outages. The city of Monette implemented a state of emergency as severe weather struck the area, according to NBC affiliateKentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Friday told residents to stay alert."Folks need to have plans for safely sheltering in place in the event of a tornado, and they need to be prepared in case there are disruptions to local utilities," he said in a statement.
But the springlike weather will be short-lived: A cold front was forecasted to"sweep across the entire East Coast" late Saturday, bringing"sharply falling temperatures and sudden onset of blustery winds," the weather service said in a forecast discussion Friday.
