ABC News
Mother Nature is coming in like a lion this weekend as over 65 million Americans will be under a weather alert.
Mother Nature is going to hit the East Coast like a lion this weekend with a winter blast that will bring torrential rain, snow, icy roads and, in some southern states, tornados.
The weather system that's forecasted to hit on Saturday has already dumped one to two inches of snow in states such as Colorado, Kansas and Missouri.
As of Friday, more than 75 million Americans across 26 states are under alert for winter weather. Most of the East Coast states affected have issued winter storm watches or winter storm warnings.
By Friday night into Saturday morning, the storm will dump heavy snow from West Virginia to Pennsylvania before moving to upstate New York and New England. Up to a foot of snow is possible in some areas, according to the forecast.
