While beautiful spring temperatures have settled into the Plains and Midwest, don't get used to it. There's a storm on the way that's going to remind Midwesterners that winter isn't over until it's over. Blizzard conditions are likely.
While beautiful spring temperatures have settled into the Plains and Midwest, don't get used to it. There's a storm on the way that's going to remind Midwesterners that winter isn't over until it's over.
The potential is there for a"bomb cyclone" to impact the Plains this week. That's an area of low pressure that drops 24 millibars in 24 hours -- aka a potent, rapidly intensifying storm system. This would be the second time in less than a month a storm of this magnitude has developed in the Plains. It's rare enough to have one form inland, much less, two.Typically we see"bomb cyclones" form off the US East Coast in the form of nor'easters.
Blizzard vs snow storm explained 01:20This powerful storm is forecast to develop Tuesday in the Rockies, where it will rapidly intensify and bring blizzard-like conditions to the Plains on Wednesday.Winter storm watches are already posted for parts of Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska and Minnesota.Arctic air will dive south, bringing frigid temperatures and possible blizzard conditions for portions of the Rockies, Plains and even Great Lakes.
Tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds are likely with some of the storms.The storm will exacerbate flooding concerns through the MidwestAdditional flooding in the Plains by the weekend is likely. We've already seen significant flooding along the Red River because of melting snow. Now with additional rain and snowmelt, more flooding will be expected. In South Dakota and Western Minnesota, the James and Elm rivers will continue to experience moderate to major flooding.
Any additional rain and snow will cause these rivers to rise even higher. There's also the threat of ice jam flooding through the weekend. Even if this storm doesn't become a bomb cyclone, it's still going to be extremely powerful. And after temperatures hit the mid-60s to mid-70s this past weekend, the drastic change will leave millions of Americans wishing spring weather would hurry and stay.
