The Midwest and Plains regions are bracing for a harsh winter onslaught as a potent storm system looms on the horizon. The forecast predicts heavy snowfall from Colorado to Minnesota until Tuesday, with blizzard conditions expected to sweep through multiple states simultaneously. The storm is intensifying across Central and Northern Plains, and its impact is expected to escalate overnight Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for the central and northern plains. The storm is projected to traverse from Colorado and Kansas on Sunday night, advancing into portions of Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota by Monday. Areas along its path may also experience freezing rain and sleet, adding to the weather woes.
A CNN meteorological forecast indicates that the storm will progress towards the Great Lakes on Tuesday before shifting northeastwards. The situation is particularly dire in the Northeast, where over 160,000 homes and businesses remain without power following heavy snowfall over the weekend.
The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) is anticipating power outages and perilous travel conditions in certain regions. Wind speeds are forecasted to exceed 50 miles per hour in areas under alert, rendering travel virtually impossible. The storm is targeting areas that have seen relatively low snowfall this winter, and the combination of heavy, wet snow, ice, and strong winds could lead to power disruptions and tree damage, as highlighted by the WPC.
