Lola’s latest status

Winter weather warnings were spent by the National Weather Service by the Rocky Mountains to the central levels and the upper middle west. These include blizzard warnings for parts of Northeast Colorado and Western Nebraska as well as the Missouri Valley in the east of Nebraska and in the West IoWa, including the subway area of ​​Omaha-Council Bluffs.

While this storm does not produce huge snowfalls, t ravel should avoid in an area under Blizzard warnings and/or winter storms. This is because the combination of snow and strong winds in these areas could sometimes create white.

Sturm timing

Monday evening: The rain can switch to wet snow in the western plateaus in areas covered by Blizzard warnings.

Winds can also be gusts up to 50 miles per hour, which causes potentially reduced visibility and dangerous travel conditions in these areas.

Wednesday-Wednesday night: The threat from snow or rain that changes to snow will continue on Wednesday in the upper middle west and only extends over the rest of the Great Lakes, the Ohio River Valley and the Appalachen on Wednesday evening.

Due to the overall warm temperatures in the United States this week, there will be no large region with strong snow from the storm, but snow -covered conditions could affect cities such as Minneapolis, Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

However, strong winds could even turn a small amount of snow into white out or even blizzard conditions.
