The storm system is slowly tracking toward the Rockies early
Friday morning and is anticipated to exit into the Plains by late
Friday afternoon/evening. During this time, the storm will spread
heavy mountain snow, valley rain, scattered showers and
thunderstorms, gusty winds across the Rockies and Southwest, and a
mix of sleet and freezing rain across the Great Plains. Once over
the Plains, the storm will regain strength and begin producing
moderate to heavy snow along with strong winds across the Northern
Rockies as well as the Central and Northern Plains. Snow
accumulations exceeding 12 inches will be likely in parts of the
Dakotas and the higher elevations of the Rockies. Severe
thunderstorms may develop along the trailing front in the Southern
Plains today. The storm will remain over the Northern Plains
through Saturday before entering the Northeast Sunday and Monday,
where it will continue to cause treacherous travel. Severe storms
will remain in the forecast across the South-Central region on
Saturday as well and strong wind gusts will be common across much
of the nation's Heartland.
The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 700 AM PST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
