At 100 AM MST...A strong upper-level trough over the Intermountain
West helped to produce a surface low pressure system in central
Colorado. Latest surface observations showed the center of low
pressure was 993 millibars, or 29.32 inches of mercury, and
located south of Gunnison, Colorado. National Weather Service
radar indicated periods of snow occurring across the central
Rockies and central High Plains with the foothills and Front Range
of the Colorado Rockies reporting heavy snow. Light snow is also
seen falling across portions of central Utah, central Wyoming, and
northwestern Nebraska. The combination of moderate to heavy snow
and increasingly gusty winds have led to poor visibilities and
blowing/drifting snow from northern Colorado to southern Wyoming.

The storm system will track east through the central Plains today
and into the Midwest by Tuesday night. A swath of moderate to
heavy snowfall will move across the central Rockies and central
Plains during the daylight hours Tuesday then move into the
Midwest this evening. By Wednesday morning, the storm and its
associated bands of snow will be located in the northern Great
Lakes and Upper Midwest. The forecast calls for snow totals of 8
to 12 inches across northeast Colorado, across central Nebraska,
and into southeast South Dakota, northwest Iowa, south-central
Minnesota, and northwest Wisconsin. Some portions of central
Nebraska and south-central Minnesota can expect over a foot of
snow. Gusty winds will also cause blowing and drifting snow, as
well as reduced visibilities causing whiteout conditions. A narrow
zone in the central Plains and Midwest will mix with, or change
over to, rain and can expect lesser snowfall totals but slick
roads will still be a concern.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 800 AM MST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
