trueWeather meteorologist Mark Shanaberger posted on X on Tuesday: "A low-pressure system will track across the U.S. next week, bringing snow to parts of the Midwest and Northeast and severe storms to the South March 3-5. Its exact path remains uncertain, but that will ultimately determine the placement of the snow swath."

About 47 million people faced an enhanced to moderate severe storm threat from Madison, Wisconsin, to Birmingham, Alabama.
