The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued wind chill advisories and freeze warnings as a strong arctic cold front sweeps through the Great Plains and is set to bring a winter weather event to much of the country.

Freezing rain and sleet are forecast in the southern Plains and the Tennessee Valley starting Monday and continuing on and off through Wednesday, meteorologists said. More than 40 million people from Texas to West Virginia are under winter weather alerts, CNN reported.
