Road closures, flight delays and power outages abound as a large winter storm barreled across the northern tier of the United States.

On Monday at 6:32 p.m. EST an updated winter storm warning was issued by the National Weather Service in effect until Tuesday at 1 a.m. EST for Cass, St. Joseph and Berrien counties.

A winter storm warning is in place for the eastern and western U.P. and most of the Lower Peninsula, mainly along the western snowbelt. A high wind warning is in effect for southeast Michigan because of the potential for 60 mph wind gusts. The Great Lakes are under storm, gale, and heavy freezing spray warnings.

A high wind warning was in effect for all of southeast Michigan Monday morning, backing off to a lesser wind advisory around noon Monday. The high winds winds broke branches, resulted in power outages and contributed to blowing snow and whiteout conditions.

An impactful shot of snow and ice will blast through the Northeast set to dump snow threatening post-Christmas holiday travel at major airports and highways across the region.
