Coast-to-coast storm to blast northwest with 70+ mph winds, heavy rain

A multifaceted coast-to-coast storm is beginning to move out of the Pacific Northwest and into the Northern Plains and the Rockies, packing powerful wind gusts of 50-70 mph. Gusts could even approach 80-90 mph. Driving and air travel conditions will deteriorate across Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and the Dakotas as the day progresses. This storm will move into the Midwest by Thursday and eventually reach the East Coast on Friday.
