Another blast of winter moves across the U.S. putting 30m under weather alerts already - with the East Coast next to be hit

Much of the central and eastern U.S. is slated to receive another blast of snow and wintry weather this week, bringing potential travel hazards and power outages. Following weekend snow in the Northeast, a large section of the country is in the path of two storms that will sweep east from Tuesday through Thursday. Roughly 32m people in the U.S. were already put under weather alerts on Monday night. "The first storm from Monday night to Wednesday night will occur as cold air expands farther south and meets up with moisture spreading north from the Gulf," AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex Duffus said in a statement. “This can lead to accumulating snow that may impact millions from the Plains to the mid-Atlantic states and southern New England, with the potential for significant travel impacts across the big cities in the region from late Tuesday into Tuesday night,” he cautioned. Dozens of delays and flight cancelations were reported at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C., tracker FlightAware showed. “The airport is open and operational and our snow team is monitoring the runways,” the airport said in a post on social media. “Please check your flight status with the airlines for delays or cancellation if you are traveling later this afternoon or tomorrow.”<br/>
