A winter storm, which will eventually impact the Northeast, will continue to spread disruptive snow across the Tennessee Valley tonight.
The path of the storm will encompass nearly 2,000 miles, unleashing rain, snow and ice over the weekend.
Travel reaching from Denver to Nashville and northward as Boston could be treacherous as roads become slick. Multiple vehicle crashes and slide offs were reported across portions of Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama Friday.
"The storm will blossom and expand tonight, exploding across a large statewide area instead of affecting smaller, localized regions," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Dave Samuhel said. "Snow will spread and become heavy across the Ohio Valley with ice in the Tennessee Valley tonight before reaching into the Appalachians by dawn."
