There’s even the risk of a strong tornado or two in the South
A large-scale storm system rolling across the central states is delivering both a wintry wallop and a taste of the. Areas from the Upper Midwest to the Colorado Front Range are slated to see wind-swept snow, while a few possibly strong tornadoes could swirl through the Southern states.
“Travel should be restricted to emergencies only,” wrote the National Weather Service in North Platte, Neb. “If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.”For those across the Lower Mississippi Valley, meanwhile, severe thunderstorms could generate damaging winds and spawn tornadoes.
The active weather will probably take a breather before a series of low-pressure systems swing east across the Lower 48 into next week.The ongoing storm follows a weekend storm in the Northeast that dumped up to 30 inches of snow in the mountains of New England and glazed locations closer to the coast in a thick coating of ice.A slow-moving low-pressure system was near Kansas City on Monday.
In Minnesota, the Twin Cities area received 4 to 8 inches before the snow flipped to rain early Monday. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport posted 8.2 inches; until Sunday, it had received only 17.4 inches the entire season, among the lowest amounts on record.As the storm lifts northward but draws cold air south on its western flank, another inch or two is possible in the Oklahoma Panhandle as well as west-central Kansas.
