Dhaka, March 14 -- A powerful storm system is set to impact over 100 million Americans starting Friday, bringing a mix of extreme weather across the Great Plains and beyond. The multi-day event is expected to unleash blizzards, tornadoes, flooding, and even wildfires as it moves eastward.

While the storm's intensity is striking, meteorologists note that such weather patterns are common in spring due to the collision of warming temperatures with lingering winter air.

"This is the time of year when storms like this can have widespread effects," said Penn State University meteorologist Benjamin Reppert.
