Another significant winter storm is sweeping across the Midwest and central US with disruption likely. Millions of people along the storm's path from the West Coast to the Upper Midwest will experience significant weather impacts until Thursday.

The latest in a string of Plains blizzards is lashing areas from Kansas to Minnesota to Upper Michigan with wind-driven snow, resulting in treacherous or impossible travel conditions. This weather system has been named Winter Storm Nyla by The Weather Channel.

Strong tornadoes are possible near Chicago, while blizzard conditions have been blasting Nebraska and Kansas. Farther south, Oklahoma and Texas are facing critical wildfire danger.
