A strong storm system is forming, set to bring heavy snow and blizzard conditions to parts of Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas.
Meanwhile, a sharp contrast in air masses will trigger severe weather across the South and Gulf States.
Blizzard Warnings Issued
While snowfall totals are expected to be light to moderate, the main concern will be strong winds and low visibility.
Blizzard Warnings have been issued for northeast Colorado, northwest Kansas, and much of Nebraska. Winds could reach up to 65 mph, creating whiteout conditions from late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Severe Thunderstorms in the South
In the warmer section of the storm, severe thunderstorms are expected to develop.
These storms may bring damaging winds, large hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall.
Storm Timeline and Impact
- Tuesday Morning: Severe storms begin forming in east Texas and east Oklahoma.
- Tuesday Afternoon: Storms move into Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Tornado Threat Increasing
The risk of isolated severe weather will be highest in Texas and Oklahoma early on. However, as the storm system strengthens, more widespread severe weather is expected in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
The Storm Prediction Center warns that strong tornadoes could form as supercells develop by Tuesday afternoon and evening.
