Late-week cross-country storm to bring heavy rain for millions, snow across Upper Midwest

After a relatively quiet start to the new year across the Lower 48, a developing storm system emerging from the West could impact much of the country beginning Thursday. Snow may develop behind the system from the Rockies into the Great Lakes, while ahead of it, a cold front could bring a renewed threat for severe weather across the Deep South on Friday. The storm is expected to soak the Northeast through the weekend.
