The low pressure center in Kansas is expected to progress east and
northeastward through the central Plains and into the Upper
Midwest by Friday. Heavy wet snow is expected from northeast
Colorado, through the northern Plains and into the Upper Midwest.
Greatest accumulations are expected across northern Nebraska,
South Dakota, and central Minnesota with 12-24" possible by
Friday. Power outages are likely. In addition, strong winds will
result in blizzard conditions and hazardous travel. Furthermore,
thunderstorms, heavy rain, and mixed precipitation are expected
ahead of the frontal system. To the south, strong winds will lead
to extreme fire weather danger across the southern High Plains.
The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 400 AM CDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
