On January 6th, the central United States was hit by a storm on the 5th, with nearly 60 million people under winter alert from the plains to the central Atlantic coast. The National Weather Service of the United States announced on the 5th that parts of Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri will experience blizzards and gusts of wind exceeding 64 kilometers per hour on the same day. The snow thickness in some areas will exceed 38 centimeters, which will be the strongest snowfall in the region in nearly a decade. It is expected that travel will be very dangerous, and some roads may be impassable. Kansas, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Virginia have declared a state of emergency. Southern states such as Mississippi and Florida have also issued cold weather warnings, and areas downstream of the Mississippi River are at risk of tornado attacks. Forecasters say millions of Americans will face record low temperatures as the storm moves eastward.
