A wide-ranging storm has been forecast to move along the Eastern United States this week, bringing with it the potential for snow, ice and thunderstorms in multiple states across the country. Much of the country has already faced challenging weather this month.

Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Watches are in effect for portions of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado as the region braces for a significant winter storm that could dump feet of snow in the Rockies this week.

Nearly a dozen states received hazardous weather warnings from the National Weather Service as of early Wednesday.
