Tens of millions of people are under an extreme weather warning where plunging temperatures could make it feel as low as -55 degrees. Drivers on the road face treacherous whiteout conditions where slick roads sent multiple vehicles spinning out of control in Tennessee. NBC’s Emilie Ikeda reports and TODAY’S Al Roker tracks the latest forecast.
More than 55 million people throughout the Gulf Coast are bracing for a historic winter storm that will bring rare snow and frigid temperatures to the region until midweek, according to national forecasts. The storm will bring snow and ice by Monday night to Houston; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and other cities throughout the South. Most of the area will receive a dusting of up to 4 inches of snow, but the accumulations in parts of Texas and Louisiana could reach 6 inches, forecasts indicate.
Both airports in Houston were set to close early Tuesday, and city officials were asking residents to limit their outside activities. Freezing rain threatens to stretch north into coastal Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, forecasters said. Later in the week, snow off the Atlantic Coast and heavy rain will affect the Florida Peninsula.
