A MAJOR winter storm with millions of Americans in its path is spreading rain, freezing rain, and heavy snow further across the country.

Along the warmer side of the storm, strong thunderstorms capable of damaging wind gusts and tornadoes were possible Thursday in parts of Mississippi and Alabama, the Storm Prediction Center said.
