A series of storms are marching through much of the eastern half of the United States and will likely trouble tens of millions of Americans looking to get a head start on Thanksgiving travel Tuesday and early Wednesday with traffic delays and flight cancellations.

The first storm system, which roughly centers over the Mississippi Valley as of Tuesday morning, is expected to continue pushing westward to deliver strong wind, freezing rain, and severe thunderstorms across a region stretching from the central Gulf Coast up through the southern part of the Great Lakes, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
